Well I have the bars and mounts,... and at first sight they do NOT fit. The clip on mounts are right of course... but the bars are no where near long enough to accomodate the switch gear

I will have a play and see if I am missing something... but at the moment, it looks like I might have wasted my money.

Keep you posted

PS.. does any one have any comfort bars for the 1100S :roll: :?: :oops:

If you put them in the far back position, they are significantly more back and up compared to the stock low bars. I would put them on below first and have the option to go from full sport mode to tour mode.

Throttlemeister..... The mounts are fine but the bars are not long enough to take the s/cylinder and throttle grip mech. I can only assume the K1200 the bars came from were std whereas mine are heated.... does this make a difference... they are definitely shorter than the std 1100s bars

Stuart

Rapid dog..... If this does not work then I may be going your route. They look absolutely brilliant and are obviously made to a very high std. but I am trying to kep the budget down.... I may have wasted £60 all ready.

Keep you posted
