Tiger 800 handlebar on Girly

[BCtiger]

I started looking at this project back in Feb inquiring about striple bars on a Girly. In the end they would have been too short. With the factory bars I could never get quite comfortable. As it is, the Tiger 800 bars are the same width or very close. Used Rox Risers, 7/8" to 1 1/8" to accommodate fatbars, and I am comfortable. The swap went pretty smoothly, a little time consuming to feed the heated grip wiring thru, but a nice weekend project. Drilled one hole for the locating pin on the throttle side, clutch side missing the pin, so no need to drill. I have 1050 hand guards, the throttle side required a small trim as it pushed against the windscreen @ full lock. I can now make adjustments at the bar & at the headstock clamp. Riding is different, a little strange at first but now the steering effort feels much easier and even seems more precise. And, I think they look cool ! We will see how comfortable they are on a longer trip later this summer.

Looks good and right  Are those the XC bars?

They are not the XC bars which are a bit wider still. I sat on both the 800 & 800XC to compare and found the I was more comfortable with the regular length. The XC bars may have helped with the handguard location on the throttle side being a bit further away from the windscreen on full lock. Also I think the wiring might be a bit tight in some positions the XC bar could be set at, but not positive about that. And thank you, I do think they look right.
