K75S bars on an R100RS

I just completed this common swap, but did one last mod I hadn't heard others talk about.
The RS handlebar mounts install through the forward pair of holes in the upper triple clamp.
I used the RT speedometer mounting bracket which is the same height as the RS, but is made to use the rear mounting holes. It only gives you another 9/16" back, but it also provides more room for the cables to route and I find less interference between the fairing and my gloves.

When I had the RS fairing still on my R100, I mounted K75S bars in the rearward 2 holes as well.
Everything fit better.

A viable and well proven strategy
to raise the bar and ease the back
that many may not know ...

I never have to mount anything in a rear hole. :shock:

One of the benefits of being over six ft with long arms. :P
