Folks, I just put these on my 2021 SF V4S, it has transformed the ergonomics for me. Handlebars are slightly narrower, and slightly higher. At 6”3 with 32” inseam it allows me to sit straighter with a slight bend in my elbow. Instead of feeling like I’m flying over the front wheel, I feel like I’m sitting more in the bike (little bit more). Hard to explain exactly but so much more confidence inspiring.

If anyone has questions on the process hit me up. It’s a bit involved but not too bad. Here’s a link to the model I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAPJA66/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9C3A24A0QW63AQY3NPZQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1.

I went with the MA011 for a lower bend

Will do in a bit. I like the hilights on your bike. Is that an SP?

I was going for the 1098 SF feel and position. I also added some V4 Panigale rearsets and i achieved the more aggressive feel I was after.

It’s still close to 0 degrees here so I only got to take her out one.

Are the Panigale rearsets longer (more rearward) or just higher?

I have mine set to furthest back and lowest position and they’re good.

One thing to note is on the right side I had to go two up to match the height of the left side. I’m guessing the OEM are made with different angles in order to line up which is why the SF has its own model number

2 up how? Those look like OEM rearsets (non adjustable).

I didn’t post pics of the rear sets yet.

So left furthest back and lowest
Right furthest back and one up from the lowest
 
Just got back from a 3 hour ride on the interstates here in SoCal (fast, wide, blustery going through the mountain ranges here).

I had a total blast! The handlebars make such a difference. The biggest thing I notice is that my elbows have more bend and are closer to my body. I can still vary between upright position and aggressive. I find having my elbows closer inwards and closer towards my body gives me a lot more confidence in the corners and when I put the hammer down :)
 
Question for you experienced riders out there. With the stock bars or aggressive bars where your arms are pulled forward and out (“superman” style) how do you deal with the twisties with your elbows so far apart? I’ve always been taught to keep my elbows close to the body and lead with the inside, straighten the outside. I find that hard to do with the stock handlebars. Just wondering how other folks manage.
