KLE crash bars

HI

Got a kle a few months ago and decided crash bars might be a good idea since i will be using the bike in the winter and it will minimize any costly damage if i do go sliding down the road (also make it look beefier)

I understand SW-motech and H and B make crash bars for the kle but i'm wondering whether my knees would hit the SW-M ones as there quite big
i'm about 6ft and was wondering if any one has any experience with these bars?

thanks

Shaun

FRom the pics they seem to follow the line of the edge of the fairing with the bars about 2-3ins forward of the edge
is that about right or is it the angle of the pics? if it is i'll probably order some next week.
does anyone know any uk shops that sell them for less than £110?

Im 6ft and have no probs with them, I can make my knees touch them but they have never bothered me.

Got mine from the the same place as robroymc which are a uk supplier.


They also have a few other bits for the kle, just type kle in the search bar of the web page.

Hope this helps?.
