I recently installed some Tarozzi rear sets and some brackets made by Cognito Moto. I really love the rearsets over the stock pegs. It didn't feel right with the Euro bars so I installed my Norman Hyde M bars. More aggressive riding position but it makes the bike way more fun to ride.

I'm still jealous of your lift  ;) and I'm still tinkering with both my F's too. Those rear sets are nice.

There is so much to like about this bike. Those bars are really interesting looking. They remind me of some bars I have on a mountain bike. Love the seat.

The lift is super handy especially if you are always tinkering like me. I can't imagine not having one.

Is there a model number? I now have 2 F's, a BMW K1200GT, and a REAL nice bike on the way  ;)  I need to get serious. My back isn't getting any younger either. Up and down Up and down. Then there's the bone on bone knee. OUCH! Plus, I need the cool factor.  8)

You can buy them on sale for about $299.  If I recall correctly, they exclude them from their 20-25% off coupons.
They will periodically lower them to $299 ish...more often around $329 and 349.

Great looking bike.  Love to see 'em personalized to the rider.  Those bars are really growing on me - they look right.

I bought mine on sale for $299 and was able to also use the 20% coupon. This was early last year. They may have changed their policy recently, though
