Hi
I want to change the bars on my r65ls for some a touch higher and slightly wider.
I am sure this has been done loads of times but what bars are best?
I've read that the renthal ultra low work well but can any1 share their experience?

Higher wider bars will need hydraulic hose and cable changes.
searching the sites, I changed my bars for a K100R bars. Slightly flatter a little wider no changes too hoses or cables just a dressing to the instrument cover.
The best thing is no more pain to thumbs or wrists.
You can fit it without disconnecting anything just loose everything off then move one side to the other, fit the new bar the same way.
