I am looking for any input on the LSL handlebar conversion kit. I have looked at the VFR bars, Heli bars and now these. I have a 2003 Bird and i'm looking for different bars.

I am going to ride for a while before i make any changes, i have 185 miles on it already!!! This is giving me something to do while i wait for the snow to melt. I happened to run across these bars while looking for Bird parts. I love my 1100F but i really love my Bird. I put 40,000 miles on the F in the first 10 years and not so much after that, work is always getting in the way of my having fun. This year is going to be different, kids are gone and it's time to enjoy riding. Thanks for the info.

Speaking of handlebars ...

Did a hugely squidly thing on me Bird on the weekend ...

Took forks out and replaced seals.. Put forks back in Friday night ( after a few after work beers - but only 3 ) and also replaced front brake pads whilst there ....

Here's the squidly bit .... after about 80 miles Saturday night, tip into LH sweeper about 90mph .... fuck ... RH handlebar came loose and was in about 5 o'clock position ... Not much fun and about 8.5 on the shpincter scale .... Of course, didn't have the toolkit on the bike, so I rode the last 20 miles one handed ...

Morale of the story ... Double check bolts next morning ( or don't drink piss before working on bike )
