Roadster & Thunderbike?

[TOMCAT]

Did you tell Thunderbike the bars were going onto a Roadster ? Surprised they haven't made up a bracket to suit the R3R ... Maybe owners need to request Roadster specific when odering their bars.

Do the Thunderbike bars pull the bars back farther than the stock Roadster bars and Rivco risers together? I am only 5'-7" and looking to get the most pullback that I can.

well, the thunderbike bars can be tilted backwards alot, but then you have to mount the gauges on top instead of under the bars.
recently i added the rivco risers to the thunderbike bars and because it makes the bars sit higher, you can rotate them down a bit,
which results in the bars being close enough to comfortably hold em and get no more pain from stretching.
at least in my case and my height is: 5.9 this setup (the bars with the rivco) costs some money but it was worth every penny imho,
i can drive relaxed all day long now. i added a sideview pic so you can see how far the bars are pulled back, and i could tilt em down a bit more, but this was perfect for me.

i did specify it was for the roadster and they sent me a mail telling me they didnot have a bracket for the roadster and i could remove the order or not, but then they would sent it without a fitting bracket.
and i tought well, how much work can a simple bracket be eh... so i ordered it anyway and fabbed one up myself. they also sent an email asking if i fabbed up something and to send them pics,
and if it was worthy they might use my bracket for the roadster?? send the bill for the R&D first but got no more response

They have pictures which I sent of the T bars which I fitted to my Roadster. I made another adaptor plate for the gauges out of stainless. Works well for me.

Stock cables and wiring fit with the bars and risers??
