So I purchased a new 2008 ZX-6R. I have put on about 180miles on the bike. I love it with the exception that my wrists and neck hurt after about an hour of riding it. One possible suggestion I received was to try and adjust the handle bar height. HOW DO I DO THIS? Is it even possible on this bike? Secondly, can the handles be changed on the bike? Any suggestions would be great....

 

congrats on the new ride.

 

adjustble not too much. clip ons are out there. welcome to KF

 

could always go stunt bike style and put dirt bars on

 

Heli bars. Very adjustable.

 

I could but i wanted a cheap fix... since the current clip ons dont have too much room for adjustment id probably wanna get something that would blend in more and not look like an obvious mod....

 

First off, thanks for the suggestion. Now I kinda know what to look for.
But damn, $284 for these bars? + installation charge? Kinda expensive isnt it?

Isnt there anything cheaper out there?

 

do it yourself. no installation charges. have rode on a bike with heli bars on it and it makes alot of dif.

 

vortex clip ons and flip them. it will angle them up a bit. i think they are also adjustable on the angle too. so i've read.

 

pain in the ****?? umm, it's not a goldwing dude. ALL sportbikes are like that. use your legs to grip the tank and use your back to hold you up. you don't wanna have all of your weight on your wrists while you are driving.
