I going to widen the handle bar on my K75S to make it more maneuverable at slow speeds and just pushing it around. At a smidgen over 500 lbs it is harder to deal with the the r1150GS and just shouldn't be, getting old here. There is quite a few threads on here about this but it's a little bit here/a little bit there. robmacks post was the gem that fixed it for me, all there and I know what I am going to do.
I am going to remove the 1" back/1" up risers and go with Flanders/ 5/6/ then trim the bar ends back 2" or so. With luck I may be able to keep the exiting cables. Does anybody see a downside to this.
