Need help please - Bar backs & a tape measure

Post by Jack_the_Lad »


My old R1150RT was one of the most comfortable bikes that I've ever owned, but not doing quite so well with my '18 R1200RT - getting quite a lot of muscle stiffness and quasi-cramping between my shoulders, so I'm trying bar-backs to see if that helps.  Ancient wisdom was narrower bars a la R100RS but obviously that's not an option.


Could someone provide the following dimensions please - for standard bars alone & with Ilium bar-backs.

Any yes, I know that this next one is the wrong bike but could only find a top view of an old model

Distance B should be center of bar end weight to tip of the rack.


With Wunderlich bar-backs, the dimensions are for 1' 10-1/16" center of bolt to center of bolt, for A, and 4' 7" for B.


In theory, left & right should be the same, but...




Thanks,


Alex
