Dale tested quite a few of the bar risers and bar backs out there, and just was not happy with the out come or the erector set look of all that stuff bolted together. Instead he thought out of the box and got to work on testing the new Holeshot 2014 + DL-1000 V-Strom Comfort Handle Bars. After making 3 prototype sets with different bends and rises the finished product is just what the doctor ordered. Dale feels the stock bend is not the real issue, and that mostly they needed to be closer to the rider and only slightly higher. The Holeshot Comfort bars are approximately 3/4" to 1” inch higher, 1.5" to 2.0" inch closer to the rider, and about 30 " inches wide. This will depend on how you have them adjusted of course. They are CNC bent and made from DOM American 7/8" inch steel tubing, then powder coated in a 60 % gloss satin black finish. The ID will fit the original bar ends, after market or the Throttlemeister, but the ID must be drilled or dremeled slightly for a proper fit. The customer must drill the holes for the switches once you have the bars installed, or simply dremal off the tips in the housings. The stock brake line reaches with a minor teak adjustment, the cables and wires looms reach but some minor re-routing is required. If you have a hard time reaching your stock bars or your shoulders start killing you when you ride, then consider giving the new V-Strom Holeshot Comfort Bars a try. You wont be sorry.
