Skorpion Sport Handle Bars

Hello. Is there a conversion to lift / change the bars on my Skorpion Sport, maybe fit a set of Renthal`s or similar, which will not foul the fairing brackets?
Thanks.

Just been through it.
I believe that K1300 helibars fit but are few and far between.
In the end I just reversed them and carefully drilled them for the switchgear fitting which raised them just enough for me.

Hi Richard,
not thought of that, sounds like a good solution? Did it clear the fairing brackets OK? .... I suppose it must have?
Thanks,
Steve.

They do.
Just figure out where the new small holes must go very carefully, the switchgear is not symmetrical and you must swap the bars left-right and upside down.
It has transformed the riding position.

At Woodbridge camp yesterday i saw a Skorpion Sport with a pair of modified clamps for the top of the stanchions which raised the bars about 2-3". You fit your own bars to the clamps but they have to be sawn in two and pushed in from either end. Makes for a very flexible arrangement. Wish now I had taken a picture. Bike belonged to lady called Terry who comes from London area - she got them from eBay as a stock item. She is an MZRC member so I may be able to contact her if anyone wants more info.

Will see what I can do - may take a few days as I will have to get the ladies full name from Eric Hagon.

Appreciated, thanks for your time. I`ve also posted the "handlebar" question on another forum I use and if I find any solutions I`ll post here.
Thank you.

Contacted Eric but he only knows the lady as Terry as well. I cannot trace her from that name alone in the club records, though she is pictured on the front cover of issue 212 of MZ Rider. How sad is that. I'll keep looking as these clamps might make a skorpion and option for me as well.

Small world, look on the MZ Riders Club Group on facebook and you will find details of Terri Forward and pictures of her Skorpion posted this morning.
