Yes you can. Oem Mille bars work best, I did it as I found it nicer to ride than tuono format. Gets a bit sore on the back and shoulders after a few hours unless you are pushing it on a bit. Gilles vario bar work too but can foul on things If you don't get the angle right. You'll need the right size for your forks. Brake line will be a bit long too
Nice .. So nothin major then . He can ride his blade for miles but the tuono is to upright for his lower back . I suggested it and could,t see any big issues .. But thought I would check . Thanks .

I have a very bad back (knackered disc's at L 3,4 &5) but find riding the Tuono really comfy and I am 6ft 6inch tall...
Get pains and cramps in my hips after 150miles but I am hoping to get some rearsets to help with this.
2004 Tuono Factory Carbon Sex Toy, Evo race can and chip cos that's all they need to be the Ossomist bike ever..
Bored??? Go to www.jollygiant.co.uk.... It's my website!!
No tallness with this guy . Just about can reach the bar for a pint .. Fat too . The narrower profile will.also make it better for hacking through London traffic . Its a bit wide with the standard bars for the filtering speeds expected by other biker commuters . Thats why we all hate BMW Gs riders )))))

We looked at that but its going to foul with the tank . I got away with takin bars off flipping them round and upside down on a kwak ... But tuono top yoke is to low in relation to tank.Originally Posted by Nob

well for all intents and purposes the old school tuono / mille are the same under the skin. all it is really is a bikini style fairing and motocross bars and you have a tuono. i also found the stance really wide and flat with the gold bars on, not enough sweep back for your hands to feel natural, unlike my gen 1 bandit 1200 i had before, the standard bars on it were perfect. might be an idea to try a few narrower sets of bars if you can but you'll need to change the risers too, since tuono ones are 25mm / 1 inch instead of 22mm / 7/8 like most normal bars. depends how much he has to spend too. you could get lucky and find used oem clipons or pay £300 for the gilles.
Tuono bars are 28mm,, and pretty narrow and well swept back imho.
they felt exactly the same as renthal shit bars to me, had a set on one of my bikes when i got it, crap. went in the bin.
Falco clipons have their bars a little bit more elevated then Mille clipons, somewhere around 30 mm I believe.
I had a Falco .. I told him to buy one of those at the start . But he got a Tuono . What can ya do .. He is welsh
