Hey everyone,
While Alcina has most everything I want in a motorcycle, there are a couple spots where she could be improved upon, and one of them is the handlebars.
At my preferred relaxed riding posture, only my fingertips to my first knuckle are resting on the grips. While this is fine on day trips, I wouldn't want to "handle" this on extended rides. I already suffer from radiculopathy (tingling and numbness of my hands and fingers, and feet, courtesy of the navy), so I need my grips closer than the typical guy for comfort so I can keep my elbows in a semi-rested position.
Anyways, I've only found the "Helibars", which is an entire swap of the handlebars thus far, and Wunderlich says their handlebar extensions aren't compatible with the TC. Can anyone confirm or deny this claim? I know that mechanically, the TC, bagger and plain-jane are the same in this arena, it's just the dress is different overhead (the fairing and infotainment system).
I really hate to blow $660 bucks on a Helibar when all I need is to extend my grips 4-5" closer to me.
Help me R18 forum members! You're my only hope!
