handle bars???
handle bars???
does the anyone know if the 2000 year model superhawk have a handle bar adjustment? is there any thing i can do to bring them up and maybe back a little. are there any other changes i can make to adjust the riding position?
If you search, you will see several ways to get some adjustability out of the stock clipons. Not a lot of adjustability, but some. You can raise them just a little bit, like 10mm I believe, but I'm not sure. You can also cut off a small piece of material, and this will allow you to clock your clipons. Do a search and there are threads that tell you how to do these things.
As indicated above, do a search but there is not a lot you can do with the 41mm OD OEM "clip-on" bars.
However, there are a myriad of replacement bar options that work better if not require new brake & clutch lines and maybe throttle cables as well as trimming the fairing "ears", as follows (the first 3 I've tried):
Helibars
Tommaselli 3-way adjustable
DanMoto 3-D adjustable
Gen-Mar Risers (not actually a replacement but an adapter)
Superbike bar conversion (requires drilling top triple clamp)
VFR750 units

I just pirated the bars off my 2000 VFR800, and they mounted up very easily.
I have minor issues with fairing clearance at full left or right turn, so I'm losing a little bit of turning radius as a result, but I'm going to shim the fairing a bit at the mirror mounts to see how much that will help.
A quick ebay search (or VFR World) may turn up someone parting out a bike.
