Doh! So you did. Good idea.

I'll ask my dealer.

I have the opposite problem: the original bar angle was fine but too low, the new bars are the right height but the wrong angle ... so I guess maybe I could try Genmars with the original bars? Then I wouldn't need a new cable. 

I'm obviously looking for a more, er, 'familiar' wrist angle!

Let me know if you're selling the Genmars then.

Unlike Don I wouldn't have the ST. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but it reminds me too much of my old VFR (been there, done that). Also too 'Japanese' in feel for me. The RS feels more 'European' somehow, like a BMW or Ducati. Besides which, the RS is clearly the superior bike (ducks quickly) ;-)

Seriously though, I just can't stop riding the thing. Even the recent wet weather has me grinning, the thing copes so well with puddles and leaves and mud. I obviously need help! Is there a "motorcyclist's anonymous"?
