Re: [ST] RS vs. ST (Bars, stickers, anything else?)

["Louis Jiannine" <LouJ9@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am sure that these issue has been covered but I don't recall the outcome.

1. Regarding the bars on the 2002 Sprint ST with the over the top throttle
cables will the controls and cable clear the fairing at full lock left if
there are Genmar risers installed?

2.  Will the Helibar mounts work on a Sprint ST with a conventional
handlebar instead of the multiadjustable unit that Helibar sells?  If so,
what bars clear the tank and fairing yet yeild a hand position that is
flatter rather than drooping?


Thanks

Lou
