Thanks.The bag on the rack is a GIVI CARGO BAG Ithink it is a 15ltr expandable to 17.

The verdict on the Helibars horizons. Well ime keeping the bike. Just done 2 150mile trips . No aches or pains and the bike is much more controlable when maneuvering .You have no limit to where you set them so will fit anyones style.Expensive i know but very happy with the outcome. Only niggle is they clash with the tank bag when in nearly full lock.I have the tank lock bag which allows you to move it back a few inches.

Same experience with me..

On the subject of Sam's extremely tasteful mods in this thread, the main attraction for me being the helibars.
I was just wondering if before you plumped for them you had tried a combination of the risers in the following format:
The 2" pullbacks with 2" risers on top.
Overall it means 4" up and 1" back.

[wildybeast]

yep i tried them all in different set ups.It was the angle(sweep) of the bars that were making my wrists ache when riding through stop start traffic.I did think of removing the bar tubes and having some made up with a slight bend to them.Bit the bullet and went for the horizons,Perfect. Get some ordered i guarantee you will love em.I see your in maidstone.Ime staying near the euro tunnel Fri 14 for a night.If you want to take a look your more than welcome to pop down.

I think the angle is my problem too. Only by a few degrees but it's a pain, quite literally.
Friday is a no go although I'll probably be able to wave to you at some point in your journey as I'm heading north to Sunderland that day (in the car).
What day are you passing on your return?
Are the bars generic? In that they can be swapped to different makes/models with a suitable new yoke clamp?
One more thing, have you got a link to the longer Galfer hoses?
Cheers Sam

This is the full kit i used.D768-5 from this company.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-14-Concours-ABS-Galfer-5-Line-Complete-Brake-Clutch-Line-Kit-Black-D768-5-/231804276197?hash=item35f89c8de5:g:XsUAAOSwJQdXACce  Helibars will supply you with a full kit Galfer  i believe with the bars..Galfer may supply just the brake /clutch.Or you could take the old ones to maybe Hel performance and have some made up.cant see why the bars wont fit other models if you have the correct clamp.You will have to research as ime guessing.Train arrives back 12.30pm mon 17.Going to the Le Mans Moto 24.

Thanks for all the info.
Monday afternoon I'll be viewing a Ninja 300 for my son, so can't see you then either.
Not to worry.
Enjoy Le Mans
