1 Handlebars on LT outfit? Rubber or solid? Mon Mar 23, 2015 6:57 pm

I am new on here and even newer in the sidecar section.
I’m fitting a Hedingham (UK) Sports Chair onto a K100LT.
I have Wasp subframe and forks and 15 inch wheels.
As fitting the subframe involves removing the centre stand and without a centre stand you can’t fit the wheels and the forks and even if you did fit the wheels and forks, you can’t get it off the centre stand, that bit is going to be interesting. I understand that it needs hoisting up to the roof!
I got some work to do on the bike first including painting all the plastic and the chair but most of the stripping (as far as I’m going) has been done.
Anyway, that isn’t the question or reason that I’m posting in this section. The LT has rubber mounted handlebars. I’m quite happy with the shape and style and riding position, but would anyone suggest firmer rubbers or rigidly mounting?
Thanks for replies
