Did you ever reinstall the Taylor Made exhaust? Still have it? I just bought a 2017 675R and would love to have that exhaust on my bike if you want to sell it. I checked the Taylor Made web site and apparently the guy retired and is no longer making any new products. Let me know.

In reply to Andrew.

Aftermarket companies offer clip-ons with risers, and some are even adjustable, so you could go with a set of those for a taller and more relaxed reach to the ‘bars. That’s what I’d look at doing if I was going to do a Daytona to Street Triple conversion, or wanted to make the ergonomics a little less sporty!

Just from a quick Google search, something like the Apex Riser Clip-on Set would probably do the trick, you’d just need to check for clearance to the screen.

Is it possible to buy/fit handlebars that are more akin to sports touring like vfr bars or some sort of riser system?

In reply to Sam. It's a typical sportsbike, with a small pillion seat, so it's not great for huge distances. It's OK for shorter trips and the Ohlins suspension ensures a very smooth ride for rider and pillion. It's also a lot more prone to picking up the front wheel with someone on the back, if you take off in a hurry.

Looking great! How does it go for a pillion?

In reply to Richard grills.

Hey Richard,
As mentioned I’ve run the Metzeler M7 RRs for that kind of use, and we’re looking to test some different options in this year. We’ve also run Pirelli Diablo Supercorsas or Avon 3D Ultra Sports on similar machines for that kind of use (commuting with some track) in the past.
