sleadhed Posted July 20, 2018 #1 Posted July 20, 2018 Have a set of stock bars with the weights off of my 2007 RSV. I installed RSTD bars and 2 inch risers what a difference!. the stock RSV bars are available to any one who wants them just pay shipping from Seattle area.

The RSTD bars are wider 2" I believe and have 1.5" more pull back. also the grips are straighter. as in when holding the grips your hands are more straight on the RSTD bars as opposed to your hands being angled outward from wrist on the RSV bars. I was having massive shoulder issues with the stock bars. The 2" risers were very little help. I rode another RSV that had the flanders bars. that was marginally better. I heard of others installing the RSTD bars. I researched the dimensions of the RSTD vs. Flanders. I decided to pull the trigger and convert. No more shoulder pain, numbness, back muscle cramps. a couple years ago I did a 1000 miles in one day, my a$$ gave out before my shoulder did. BTW Rick @ buckeye performance has all thats needed to convert either bars. (brake &clutch lines, throttle cables)
Sylvester Posted September 9, 2018 #4 Posted September 9, 2018 That is why I went to RSTD bars in 2008. Much more comfortable and feels like power steering. I never went with the risers but it fit me fine.
