alt rider bars are on my 2012 tenere, look great never tested. as far as tight turns , like doing a U-turn , stay seated and weight outside peg use a little rear brake (dragging rear brake stabilizes and allows you to up the rev's to help control ) and look through the turn not where the front wheel is and you will follow. it is a riding skill that one needs to practice so find a parking lot and put the altriders to the test..... just a thought , but doing a u-turn while standing means you are going to fall from a greater height.
Agree, but by standing up one can "load" more weight on the outside of the bike while in the turn. Don't try this unless you're comfortable. Suggest riding straight line on quiet roads and practice standing up on the foot pegs making sure that your feet are FIRMLY planted. Tank pads are a good idea as well. I have them.
You're correct, unless you are comfortable standing up, then by remaining seated weighting the outside peg in the turn will most likely result in a better outcome.
In any event, get yourself a set of crash bars as they are a very inexpensive way to prevent damage to your bike.
Choose a quiet parking lot and practice this maneuver, but start out gently.
If it goes for a shit, then don't be a hero, just bail out or roll off and let the bike fall.
If the bike falls on your leg, you can get hurt.
I'd rather fix my bike than my leg.
Ride safely and always, always wear your gear.
