replacement bars for 2002 R1

I have been looking for replacement bars for my 2002 R1. I don't do a lot of track riding and are rarely in "full tuck" position so I have been looking for replacement bars to offer a more upright seating position. This is all an effort to reduce the stress on my wristst and back on long rides. So far I've found these 2 websites and I'm wondering if anyone has either of these installed? if so, what are your opinions of them vs. stock? www.rbars.com (http://www.scaryfastracing.net/why.html) and also HeliBars for R1 (http://www.helibars.com/pics/yamaha/r1.html)

those r bars look interesting i wonder if anyone has tried them on a r1

I had the Gilles Variobars on my '02, they changed angles but didn't really get closer to you. They do sell risers for those bars in 10mm increments though. They were great quality, easy to install and easy adjustments. Might wanna check them out.

At cadwell park this week so hopeing to fit them next week will post pics as soon as I get them done

I just installed ConvertiBars on my R1. The adjust from below stock height to plus 5" and move back, also. If I could only upload pics. MotoEd

Does anyone have any pictures of any of these actually mounted on the bike? I was looking at my stock bars and all of these seem like they will definitely do the job.

I've got a set of Heli Bars for sale.They work real good, but I like the stock angles for the track. $180 shipped.

I gladly show you pics if I could upload them. I can upload them to the FZ1 board put not here. Might be file size. If someone could help me upload, or let me send them and you upload them. I'd like to get the picture upload isse straightened out, could you help. I go the the picture uploader and try to upload but it's ussually file size too large. MotoEd

If you try the R-BARS let me know how they work out for you. The Heli-bars sound good but no anti vibration system. I am working on a local aftermarket dealer to start selling R-BARS so I can get them at a discount.

we have harris high clip-ons. these are about 3/4 of an inch higher than standard clipons.
