Re: Need low clip-on bars for R1100S, will swap for high bars

["Steve Makohin" <wateredg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Bob,

I'd rather get factory bars. They are sure not to rotate in under duress, 
fit and finish, 100% compatible with everything that fits onto the bars 
(grips, etc), etc. Thanks for the suggestion though.
