Super Meteor 650 with CUSTOM raised handlebar

Stock handlebars felt unlike cruisers, so I got my SM a custom made raised handlebar through Gabriel Motorcycles in Pune.
This one feels very comfortable and my body blesses me, worth every bit of the INR 6,000 spent for it.
Get in touch with Conan from Gabriel Motorcycles on +91 99606 47050 for any custom metal work. They're based in Pune but I'm sure they will ship across India and outside too.
‪@Gabrielmotorcycles‬
Some other jobs planned:
-- Center set foot-pegs for occasional off-roading
-- Thick bars on saddle stay for camera mounts
-- Wider crash guards (maybe)
-- Tail tidy
Let me know what you'll think of this handlebar and have you changed the handlebars on your motorcycles!?!

This video is well done. I want a high handlebar, but I'm scared about cables. RE put in exposition high handlebar but sell low handlebar. This video is a light in the dark. I think will follow the light .😊😊😊😊😊

The handlebar coming with Triumph Speedmaster 2018 is very much suitable for cruising.

Oh yes that would have! but sadly the Speedmaster never came to India :(

Nowadays royal Enfield is selling custom handle bar with cables at 3500, your wind sheild is not good, you need to change it , get a bigger one.

@autorevvv Месяц назад

I saw that RE has launched the new touring handlebar for the Super Meteor will check if it’s available in India. And windshield yes, this carbon racing one is useless, and also the OeM windshield is useless too. If you’re taller than 5.9 than these windshields are pointless.

@thomasbordelon4149 9 месяцев назад

That was the very first question I had about the SM and wondered why no one was addressing it. To me you can clearly see in all of the pictures of people riding : how awkward the riding position is with the stock handlebars. I haven’t had an opportunity to get to my closest RE dealer (350 miles away…USA) and sit on one for myself yet.

@autorevvv 9 месяцев назад

Exactly...on the contrary, everyone said the bars provide good riding posture. I had to change - even shorter 10 mile rides were hurting and so glad I did. Wow 350 miles, that's half a day's drive right? If you're planning to get one for yourself, I'd highly recommend getting a proper test ride. Good luck!

@thomasbordelon4149 9 месяцев назад

Yes, if I bought one and rode it home, I would be 50 miles past my first service before I got there LOL.

@SaurabhSingh-lr8tt Месяц назад

Here is some advice from one of my friends who happens to be an automobile engineer, I know your posture has changed, but do you think you can go safe with a welded piece of pipe? It's not safe because you know that all the weight of that motorcycle goes to that handlebar; you've already suffered a suspension rupture in the past. Tc of it, friend, Wishing you happy and safe riding.

@autorevvv Месяц назад

Hey thanks for your inputs. I do see your point. So far havent faced any issue with the handlebar, it has been over a year. I'll check how the stock handlebar is made, if that one is welded too.. because that one too is thick in the center and thinner at the ends for the grip and cable connections. I'll come back and confirm here on this comment

No you dont have a short hand but the stock handlebar doesnt give a correct poster of a cruiser. Now with the new handlebar it looks more appropriate.

@@sukhamsingh4548 Nah you’re right. They always seem to get the cruiser dynamics wrong slightly. Even the TBs had ergonomic issues. I had changed my handlebars back then as well.

@autorevvv 9 месяцев назад

Exactly, there are many good extenders available. My only concern with extenders is that somehow they spoil the look of the motorcycle. RE missed a trick by not providing an adjustable windscreen. Maybe a taller after market shield would help. All the best and congratulations on your SM! Which color did you go for?

Having a straight up back posture will have impact on our spine while going over a bad patch of road, especially with the stiff suspension in the meteor 650. It is better to slightly lean forward so that direct effect on the spine can be avoided.

@autorevvv 8 месяцев назад

Hey thanks for your comment. The rear suspension of SM is so stiff it will anyway affect the lower back. This custom handlebar atleast helps to keep a posture that comforts the shoulders and upper back. Leaning forward posture hasn't been the most comfortable for me.
