Had a thought while straddling an "S" today at dealer,What do you guys think about a higher handlebar for us unfortunate souls that do not have twisties and need more comfort for straighter road riding.
I'm thinking One inch riser for that Ultimate riding position.(In my case anyway where the factory position is down right uncomfortable.

I was thinking I wouldn't like it before I got mine but I love it, so much more comfortable than my 749 and just as racy feeling. Also on my 749 my boots felt a bit uncomfortable but now I use them all the time.

What did you get? What Brand?

Are you asking about his boots ? Because I don,t believe the poster is saying anything about different clip ons.

I'm thinking you may want a Streetfighter.

I'd expect the best way to get some bar relief would be to get a set of bars which are closer to the rider as well as a little bit higher. Closer reduces the reach and higher helps get a rider more upright. Closer bars, also help make it possible to design a bar that does not foul the fairing at full lock.

The only maker which consistently makes bars that are higher and closer that I know of is Heli. They don't make bars for the 1199 at this time, but you can submit your interest in having them make bars for the bike here: Contact Heli Modified: Makers of HeliBars | HeliBars

Love the bike, just need that extra inch for the type of riding I do.

Take a look at Speedymotos. They have about 2cm rise at the clamp (3/4in.), and you can set them up with variable reaches for a given drop, plus you can run them from a full 10 degree drop angle to a slight rise. Very nice product, and not as clunky as something like say, Apex multi-adjustable bars. You can get anything from a racier than stock position to a considerably more relaxed one with 'em by playing with the drop, sweep, and clamp height.

Note that with any current aftermarket clipons, you'll also have to buy a separate mount for the steering damper since it mounts to the right factory clipon. Ducabike have one out already. Also note that you'll have plenty of clipon options if you go with an S, but the base model requires clipons with a 58mm clamp size - same as the MV F4 which also uses RAC50 forks. Very little product out for 58mm forks at this point, but there is some in the pipeline.

You'll have to relocate reservoirs, and also clearance will be an issue, I put a set of factory bar risers on my rsv4 and took em back off because I didn't like the marginal clearance. This is always tough on any sport bike.

I submitted a request to Heli a month ago. They said if they get enough requests they will consider. I am sure they will they made nice clip ons for my 1098 and it made a big difference.
