I have been a member for a year but am not the kind who asks constant questions. With the help of reading the questions and answers posted here I have been able to make my FJR a great bike. With that being said I am now stumped for an answer to a problem which I hope the members can help me with.
I've been trying just about everything to get bars which are comfortable for me to ride with including riser plates, spacers, Master Yoda etc. I've gotten close to what I want but still would like the freedom of choice afforded by tubular bars.
I noted that Speigler has a superbike bar setup for the Gen 1 FJR which includes a new upper triple clamp, bars etc. but none is listed for the Gen 2. I have searched the forums and haven't found anything about the conversion I wish to make. I am hoping that amongst all of you FJR experts out there at least one of you may have tried and succeeded with this type of setup.
Will a Gen 1 upper triple clamp fit on a Gen 2? If not a direct replacement what kind of modification would need to be done?
If this is not possible Is there anyone out there who has successfully converted a Gen 2 bike to tubular bars? I thought about maybe modifying the stock triple clamp to use some dirt bike risers or something like that.
I (and my back) would really appreciate any help I can get out there.
