Fireblade Customisation plans

BikerTech

I have a 03 Fireblade which I purchased some months ago,.
Over the winter I will be cleaning it up n paying attention to small items such as adding SS bolts,braided lines etc.

The main things I will consider buying which I believe are quite expensive are different handlebars and a different seat.

I would like this bike to be more comfortable for me for longer distances.

Long story short,

I would like to know if anybody has added products like convertibars or a similar product to raise the bar height for more comfort.

Also has anyone bought a corbin seat or have one and could say how it compares to the standard seat.I find the standard seat gets uncomfortable after an hour in it.

Mainly my concern is the bar height,so if anyone has made such a conversion I would love to hear from them.

Thanks

Tom

I recently put apex adjustable clipons onto my sv. They are simply amazing.

Sure i love my sv and i changed the clipons and i will most likely change the seat at some stage too caus the stock one is crap.

Sure if he went and bought a sports tourer to have the seating position might want then it might not be the bike he wants.

I figure buy the bike you want and then change it to fit your needs. Imo the most important thing about a bike choice for me is that its aesthetically awesome in my eyes and everything else can be modded.

Strong engine, good build quality etc etc?
A bike is only a starting point, just because the bike came with bars that force you into a crouch doesn't mean that you have to keep it that way.
Why else do manufacturers like Apex and Gilles and Renthal make bars that allow you to sit up more?
John McGuinness's Fireblade has highish bars and a big double bubble screen.
Bikes much more than cars are very customisable to individual sizes and shapes.

I paid €190 delivered. Would of been more if they got snagged for import tax.
Im not really sure how i didnt pay tax caus they came in with UPS and they never usually miss anything.
