Streetfighter or flat bar on hyper?

Done a search but can't find any pics.......

Has anyone fitted a streetfighter bar (is S4r bar the same?) or a flat bar to the hyper. I'm currently running a rizoma but i think i may like the look of a flatter bar and from what i remember,the SF bar was lower rise and narrower.

Any pics would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
pip.

Finding fat-flat-bars was not easy, but new low bar option for us hyper types

and I did wind up cutting the seat down and loosing the rearward bump. This netted a huge ergonomic improvement...for me. YMMV.

I dont have pics that give a good visual on the riding position, but I can describe the results. We're not talking sportbike torture rack here.

The flattening of the seat (getting rid of the upward rearward slope) allows me to move backwards a couple of inches. This transfers weight from my ass bones forward and onto my thighs without pressuring the boys. It also straightens my kness slightly in relation to the Woodcraft rearsets.

The lower bar tips my upper body forward a few degrees; not enough to put pressure on my wrists but this does take pressure off my chest at higher speeds. Think body surfing/using the wind as an ally rather than fighting it. This also keeps my back straighter which I find keeps me happier in the saddle longer.
