I'm wondering if any members here have installed the ComposiMo racebarz setup and how comfortable is the bar for long distance riding. I'm 5'9" 200 lbs and I like the look of the way my Hayabusa bars look on my busa which is close to these bars.




I'm wondering if the bar and adapter frame bracket seats low enough to clear BrianS modified front fork air assist caps so the air valve can be used to adjust air in the front forks.

Wow what's the deal with the air assessed values ? This is the first time I've seen it .
BrianS makes them, same engineer/designer/motorcycle geek who makes all the cool stuff that we want and need for our Grom and possible for all other motor driven vehicles that can be modified.

BrianS is the designer of the 170cc kit that is in testing
BrainS is the re-designer of the Grom swingarm from rubber assist connection to needle bearing connection.

I have finally installed my RBZ and i took it on a quick 1 min drive the other day when was above 40 here in sugar land.

I have to say I like it a lot when fully tucked! I never found it comfortable to have my hand slightly above my ears, but the RBZ installed it feels much better.

I should have ridden to work today but it was 37 when i left. It would have risen to 50 today by the afternoon. I just didn't feel like freezing this morning.

Turning has much different feel to it with the RBZ, but i'm sure i will get use to it.

I'm not sure if I like my CRG Arrow mirrors. I just don't get it. The arms IMHO aren't long enough. I have tried them in different mounting positions and angles but when the pivot out of the way they will pivot until it hits my handle bars. If my hand are there, my hand could be pinched by the mirror!

I will put up a video to show what i mean later if needed.

Thank you for the feed back. I'm use to my handle bars that are on my Hayabusa and ZX6R that are designed like the RBZ setup and I like the styling but more important how comfortable they are on long rides or just zipping through the canyons and S turn back roads, I'm sure with the air assist front forks and fork wt change and with the rear swingarm with the needle bearing and good shocks should make a good canyon carver.

I think the only mirrors I will put on are the end cap handle folding mirrors, hope the mirrors don't vibrate a lot like my harley mirrors where you can not see out the back and everything is blurry

I was unsure after installing these bars, but after about 20 miles I'm not sure how I ever rode without them View attachment 6873

Nice!!!

What do guys think? Should I powder coat the center aluminum piece yellow to match bike or gold to match forks and levers?
