Newbie here, currently running a '79 Goldwing. Looking to change to something a bit more up to date.
I love the looks of the 1100RS, though feel the 1100EX riding position - more upright - would suit my arthritic bones better.
Is the only difference the flatter bars on the RS? Could I therefore use bar risers or fit 1100EX bars to remedy this?
Thanks in advance

Welcome. There are also differences in the suspension. The RS is a sportier ride. The EX is more relaxed. I own an EX and find it to be a perfect ride for a mature rider. Here is a nice summary with more details. David
