Bar ends
I love my 10R but the vibes in the bars is more than just a little annoying. Can bar ends from another bike be retrofitted to the 10? I had bad vibes through the bars on my 1100XX and some heavier bar ends solved the problem there. Also, I removed my factory barends fro Erion 929 and installed some SBK bar sliders and the vibes got really irritationg because the bar sliders didn't have any mass. Any way, just a thought.

I'm waiting for the heavy-duty throttlemeisters....a bar weight AND a cruise control for the long haul....

...does the handlebar config lend itself to the helibar system?...a little less pressure on the wrists, a little more legroom via the buell pegs, and a corbin seat could make this 10R a halfway decent long distance ride for those stretched at the inseam...maybe not as comfortable as my 12R, but a little more tolerable than oem...

I tried the buell pegs on the 10R and the peg mounts seem to be angled differently, I mean you could install them but you would not get the same results as you would mounting them on a Busa or 12R. Heli and Corbin both stated via email that something would be under developement in the future. Would love to score a Corbin.

I'll just say that when I held it up to the mounting location on the 10R it seemed to only give me more of a setback instead of a lowering like I had seen on the Busa install. It was almost like a rearset, my foot would have been back more than down. I did not understand it also. I figured for $28 I would at least give it a try. Tried the same peg on both sides of the bike and it just did not give the lowering like on a 12R. I planned on going to the dealership and seeing both bikes together, but I would imagine the peg mount is just angled differently on the bikes.
