This week's pickup review

Recommended for those who find the stock position too tight.

Rating: ★★★★★

[Please tell us how you use it.]
The stock position of the Hayabusa's handlebars was so tight that my neck and wrists started to hurt after a long time of riding, so I installed a pipe handlebar kit. I installed the handlebar kit, which makes the handlebar about 5 cm higher than the stock position. Touring is now much easier.

[Did you receive it exactly as you imagined it?]
It is just as I imagined. I bought the silver one, but I had a hard time deciding whether to get the black one or the black one, but I think both are cool.

[Was it difficult to install?]
If you have a set of tools, I think you can install it, even if it takes a while. The top bridge didn't go in easily and I had a little trouble. If you have an environment where you can float only the front wheel, you can do it surprisingly. In my case, I used a jack in the front axle section and diverted it to float the front wheel.
Easy if you have a front jack.

[How did you like using it?]
Seriously, the best. The position of the stock clip-on handlebar was really tight, so it was hard to do long touring, but after changing it, my neck, shoulders, and wrists don't hurt even if I ride for a long time, so I'm really glad I decided to get a pipe handlebar.

[Did it come with any accessories?]
The installation instructions were well written, but if you are unsure, I would recommend having it installed at a store or watching a video while installing it. It's a steering wheel kit, so it came with everything, but only the key cylinder base is a stock diversion.

[Were there any disappointments?]
Nothing in particular!

The Hayabusa cockpit has changed dramatically and is very nice.

This is a handlebar kit, so it comes with all the accessories, including the clamp.

Remove the stock handlebar and the top bridge and replace it.

The hardest part was getting the top bridge to fit. I had to float the front.

Only the base of the key cylinder uses the genuine key.

Completed view. The position changed quite a bit, and it became very easy to ride!

 
Despite its image, the GSX1300R Hayabusa is very easy to ride, but only the position is as huge as it looks. In other words, the steering wheel is far away from the motorcycle, but when it is a pipe handlebar, it comes to the front. In addition, it will also give you an up position, which should free you from shoulder and neck stiffness. It's a nice, drastic change in appearance, but with no sense of discomfort (or malaise) whatsoever!
