Handle bars

I have a st1100 and would like to put bigger bars on so im not leaning forward as much, any help would be helpfull thanks

Look at bar risers, instead of different bars. ROX makes a variety of sizes. A 2" Rox riser can be installed and, by re-routing some hoses and cables, requires no other changes.

You can also do the 'flip-clip' which will give you about 1 inch up and back. I have the instructions for that mod.

Thanks for that, i think risers would be a better and easier option

I would try and find a Heli-bars as a solution.

For the OP, living in Ireland, that would likely be a very difficult find. HeliBars are getting rarer than hen's teeth over here too, although, it is a good suggestion. I had a set of the original HB on my '95 ST , sold 'em with the bike and put the 2" Rox risers on my '96ST. For me, the Rox set up was just as comfy as the HeliBars.

You could try SW-MOTECH 7/8" Handlebar Risers I have a 50mm set, they were easy to install,
I added a longer Stainless braided brake line. Because of the angle of the bar clamp it comes up and back.

I made a set of home brew 4 inch risers and then had a set of longer custom brake and clutch lines made by Brake Material & Parts in Ft. Wayne, IN. I still had the original lines on the bike, so it was time to replace them anyway. BM&P will replicate the OEM's exactly and at a cost much less than OEM or other options.

I also had to lengthened the cables going to the L & R handlebar switches. The downside is that the handlebar cover can't be installed.

I have Helibars on the 2000 and risers on the 94 (it came with them)- I find both bikes to be equally comfortable to ride, so in truth, I agree with getting risers, and I’m certain they would be much cheaper as well.
