Great thanks Gus - trust you are all good ? Just need to make the Buell a bit more user friendly these days, still love the performance but it can be a torture device over a longer trip!

Check there is enough length for grips and controls on renthal bars etc. Bought "type" pair once which was right for me , but controls wouldn`t fit on straight bit!

All good here thanks, I've solved the comfort issue over long trips.......I only do a 1/4 of a mile at a time ;)

A 1/4 mile is about right Gus ! I didn't like the original bars but - as has been mentioned it's difficult to find raised bars that have enough room and allow the clutch cable to be routed without hitting the instruments (mine are mounted S1 style) so that's why I thought I'd at least try the old ones. Am kicking myself for selling mine but I never dreamed I'd want them again!
