We had presented the very first prototype right after the World Finals in this web site. The new R&D Billet Steering System was developed and tested during the 2009 APBA/IJSBA National and World Championships and is a proven winner in design and performance. R&Ds Billet design offers superior strength and lighter weight over the OEM steering system. Utilizing a 7/8 MX handlebar, allows the rider to personalize the bar setup to their liking. R&D chose the 7/8 diameter bar type over the Fat bar, because of the space watercraft bars need for start/stop switches, VTS switches, and custom trim lever systems. When using fat or taper bars, the bar widths are forced wider than comfortable in a watercraft application. R&D offers two types of Handlebars for the new billet steering system, MX Low for short to average height pilots and MX high for taller pilots. Handlebars sold separately. The R&D Steering System is the way to go when setting up the ergonomic steering comfort your way. Available for FZR/FZS and SHO models. Specify whether your craft is an FZR/FZS or SHO when ordering. Features: 3 pounds lighter than stock system, Easy installation (1hour) includes all hardware and instructions, Increases overall comfort and handling performance, Allows custom bar setups (set up your way), Utilizes 7/8 diameter handlebars of our choice, Adds a true Factory Racing look to your watercraft.
