Haven't ridden with it on yet. I don't suspect it'll pose any issues with cooling. Got it mainly for asthetics. My concern is durability and life longevity. Fear is that it'll rust.

Rizoma Drag bars inner diameter is tiny! You won't be able to fit any weights (including sato racing) in them. I didn't cut mine down but had to drill guide holes for the controls.

None whatsoever for all options. I had to adjust the banjo angle on the master cylinder for the brake but that's it.

I ordered a K&N filter last summer and the quality was terrible. They're supposed to be one of the most reputable and quality filter manufacturers but I was not impressed. I returned it and kept the stock filter. The performance gains would be negligible for my purposes street riding...

Installed new handlebars today. Was considering the Rizoma Race Retro bars but chose these instead. I think I have some issues - this is my 4th set of bars including OE handlebar. 1. Original bars 2. CBR650R OE clip-ons 3. Rizoma Drag bars 4. Daytona Can't wait until Spring gets here to see...

If the crown of your head is comfortable that's the most important. Hot spots around your head are more difficult to deal with and will need to try various brands and models. With your face and jaw, the cheek pads may break in after a while. If not you can always order thinner replacements...

Correct, Etsy. Was pricey but well made.

Just for your comparison, my Akra exhaust pipes after 1 year, 4,500km.
