A few US riders have used them and say they're good, but you'll require their longer clutch cable and brake lines. An easier option could be to use the RSTD bars which have more pullback than stock and I think are slightly higher too. Can use stock cables.

Hi Clarkegray is RSDT a abbreviation for the USA Yamaha Royal Star Model I have already changed my bars for the Yamaha XVS 950 still searching a few more inches of reach.I'm one of the short breed Thanks for the info Regards SHILLING AKA Roger Gascoigne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarke Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi Roger, It is Royal Star Tour Deluxe. I think there's slightly more reach in them than the 950 ones. The UK code can be found in the customs section on this site. If you have trouble finding it let me know. An alternative to Risers and longer cables etc could be a different seat? Mustang seats move you approx 1" further forward than the stock seat... Whereabouts in the UK are you? Me and Midnight61 were just saying we don't see many 1300s on the road.

clarke Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 No worries - hope you find the perfect setup for you. The other half's folks live in Suffolk so if I'm ever passing on the 1300 I'll send you an email... If you get chance, post a pic of your bike - always good to see what other folks are doing to their's. Ride safe and keep the shiney side up & rubber side down.
