Another handlebar !

[OldBoyNetwork]

Hello all, ive had my first 500 miles and what an amazing and immersive experience. You have to do it to understand I realise.
Now that I’m used to it, I need to bling it of course but also ergonomics. I’m looking at the drag bars (although I can’t find any in stock in Europe) as I’d like to be pulled forward a bit. Any experiences and do you need to change the hoses?
Alternatives ?
Beyond this would getting the standard bars powder coated work or will the addition thickness create an issue.
As a note , I have the Roland S risers coming so don’t want a bar/ riser set.
Cheers

Have you looked at the FCR products:

They are nice but £295 plus import and vAT!!

I thought that as long as you have the right dimensions (bar thickness/width/style) that you don’t have to have ‘bars designated to just R18s? There must be at least 5-10 different places in the UK that you could source what you are looking for? The minute that you type in ‘BMW’ in your search, the price doubles or triples!!!
The powder coating would not be an issue at all and would be the cheapest option.

you are of course correct but I really wanted to run the wiring internally (otherwise id have got some Renthals or similar. Ive actually ordered from FCR (thanks Star Lord) as i got in touch and they have looked after me, still spendy but allows internal routing and they look quality. Need some black indicators now. thanks all

I installed the BMW OEM Mini-LED directionals on a project bike; they integrate nicely on the existing reservoirs, which includes the mounting brackets and OEM plug & play electrical connector interface.

It looks like the BMW OEM mini-LED accessories use the Kellerman lights:
