Fatbar conversion

Recommended Posts

Looking at swapping my bars currently and I want to swap to fatbars while doing it. Found 3 different options so far, anyone have experience with either?
 
LSL X-Bar Clamps (can't direct link, scroll down at http://www.lsl.eu/php/index.php#artikelnummer.php?artikelnummer=127)

Gilles Tooling 1DGT (Impossible to find good pictures of this one, looks really weird too http://www.polo-motorrad.com/en/anbausatz-fur-1dgt-klemmbocke-yamaha-mt-07.html)

Gilles Tooling 2DGT (Looks to be prett much the same as the LSL one, but with adjustable clamps https://www.gillestooling.com/products/handlebars/2dgt-adjustable-handlebar-risers/90/2dgt-verstellbare-lenkerboecke-universal-schwarz)

Anyone know any other alternatives? Opinions on either? I'm leaning towards the LSL one, even if it means having to drop my flyscreen (which doesn't do much good anyway). Think the speedo will end up in a better or worse position (stock is pretty bad already though)?

I know this is about handlebar conversion, which I am interested in, but I really want to know where that relocation bracket cane from on the lsl bars.

It's part of their fatbar conversion kit.

@bentebent I've been wanting solid mount bar clamps since I bought the thing. I swapped bars already, Renthal Ultra Low. Love them, wider and lower than stock for a bit more forward position. Searching for bar ends currently for the same finished look as stock. Requires drilling a few holes for the control switch pins but otherwise an easy install. I'm interested in relocating the display further forward as well. Check these out...

The Gilles GTOL-2 bar and 2DGT clamps are a nice change from stock.
They have allowed me quite the adjustment for clearance when seeing where i like the bars. 
I bought my set from @bellissimoto, a supporting vendor of the forum here at FZ07.org
oh, and getting a set of the clamps gets you the Gilles Speedo-relocator bracket for the headlamp.

Looking good! I ended up ordering the LSL conversion kit, together with a LSL X-Bar. Will post here once I get the parts and everything is mounted on the bike!
 
I actually found another meter relocation kit if anyone is interested, by SSK.

No clamps though, but I'm guessing you could source some universal ones quite easily.

So...three months later....and nothing.  Looking into the LSL conversion kit myself. 

I was tortured by the Japanese during the war, Jack. Not a pretty story. Strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras.

That is such a better position for the meters
 
 
It is. Stock location sucks.

Spiegler USA claimed today that I'm the first person in the USA to ever order the X-bar mounting kit made by LSL Motorradtechnik. Seems odd so many months after the original post. Are there really THAT few people on here?

I ended up ordering about 2 weeks ago. It should arrive within 4 weeks from now, but we'll see, since it is made to order apparently.

Edit: I know I said that I ordered above but long story short, Swedish retailers are f@#king retarded. Not going through that circus again, goddamn.

I put a GPR steering damper which moves the bars lower and forward along with the fat bar conversion. Using Rizoma drag bars that I taped out for the stock bar ends. The riding position is way more aggressive while not nearly as bad as a full on sport bike.
