LSL Bar conversion for R1100S

geoffo · Post by **geoffo** » Sat Aug 09, 2014 8:11 pm

Thinking of trying the LSL bar conversion kit on my R1100S if the 'bars on top of the yolk' doesn't do the trick.
Has anyone had any experience of the LSL conversion or a similar mod?
(ie: too high, too wide,looks wrong ect ect )

Don't tell me...... "You should have bought an R1100R"
I don't like that model at all!
Where as I love every thing about the S except I can't get used to the forward sporty lean.

Useful comments will be of help!
Ta!

I have done the top yoke conversion using a Spiegler top yoke and LSL bars. The bike is now exactly how I want it, sort of R1150R ( which I have owned in the past) with wind / weather protection etc.
The Spiegler cost me £130 from Ebay Germany where I also bought the bars with the end to take the BMW heated grips they cost about £70, all last year.
I also went down the bars above the yoke and after that I tried Bar-Backs. None of which are as good as the top yoke conversion for me at least.
I find the control I have now suits me, from easy town riding to edge of tyre stuff and three figure speeds. I did fit a double bubble screen before the conversion and it works well. This link shows the same top yoke rebadged.

Thanks for the info.

I've just spotted the Rapid Dog Barbacks, they would work out about the same cost wise as the LSL conversion and maybe (IMO) look more in keeping with the look of the bike?
(ie not so high up)

Anyone have any comments?

ps Has anyone got any photos of the LSL bar conversion in comparison to the other options? (ie Barbacks and bars on top of yolks ect)
