If you drop the bike at highway speeds the tip over bars won’t help much, they are tip over bars not crash bars!The ice man said:I am 5'10" . A long time ago I have owned a suzuki 250, handa 550, and handa 750. I don't remember having this problem with any other bike. My knee joints ache from having to keep my legs bent in one position, I think tip over bars with highway pags would allow my to extent my legs and be more comfortable. However I am reluctant to install tip over bars,because if I dropped the bike at highway speeds the head could be damaged beyond repair.
mtnbandit said:We don't know your age but you said a long time ago you had no knee problems. The motorcycle is probably not the cause of your knee discomfort. Could it be "The Golden Years" are catching up with you. I too thought it would take a lot longer to get old, but I guess I blinked.
The Tip Over Bars are your best bet for being able to re-position your feet and alleviate the soreness. I hope you can find something to help as the knees can ruin a nice ride the same as an uncomfortable seat.
Check to see it Ronnie still makes pegs that can be installed without the Highway Bars.

That's the secret. If you ride often, the ligaments and tendons have a tendency to stretch. When I got my right knee replaced, it took some riding to get to the point the knee quit hurting.works4me said:When I only rode my C-10 occasionally ( weekends ), my knees bothered me a lot.
Now I ride more frequently ( daily ) and they don’t bother me at all.
It just took a little time for my body to get used to the riding position.
Ride more -> less pain.
