HI Sam, what bars did you go with? I've been making some drawings for a different riser block, but your option might be easier (and cheaper!)

I went with the Sw-Motech 20mm bar risers.
I think they were about 55€

Any higher may need some cable work

Thanks for that.. I'll try and find those.

Sorry to be 'needy', but did you have a link for the screen kit?

I've made some brackets to adjust an aftermarket screen to emulate the angle of the original Kat screen on mine, but I'm not convinced, as this solution looks way better!

It left Japan 41 days ago and not yet been scanned into the Spanish system.
Spanish customs can be a bit slow

Thanks for that, I'll carry on with my brackets as I think their version makes the screen sit a bit high.. let me know!

I thought that too... but hoping it’s not so bad in real life.

Well the screen finally arrived this morning.
After a shortish ride.. about 40 mins round trip.. first impressions are that as a mount for the phone/sat-nav it’s brilliant, far easier to see than the handlebar mount, but as a shield from the wind it is rubbish.. the Puig screen does a better job of that.

Have you played with the adjustment of the screen, maybe lower would have less turblance.

I see you have a GSX1000-S and a tiger 800. What does the katana ride like compared to these two?

Also, open question to all who have these. Are they an upright riding position or are they putting the weight on your wrists like a sports bike?
