This bike, with these bars is manic!!!
Comfortable! But insane. It's like riding my Motard but power wheelies at $1.60 plus.
My fav back road had the shit carved out of it!!

Nice work! Will be hopefully joining you for rider training soon

Well after a bit of a spin tiday.
I reckon the bars can stay for a while.

Will be sussing out air hawks for the CDT but. There's a lot of weight on your ass rather than spread between bars and seat.

My built in ass pad needs reducing, I'm determined not to buy new road leather.

What are the negatives of bars like that?
Had a guy walk up behind me at a servo a few weeks ago (scared the shit outta me) and say he has those bars on his bike and was saying how i should put them on mine saying what a big difference they made for comfort.Then he wandered off.(Got to stop filling up at weird servos i think)

They make your ass sore. In the case of a 10, they turn it into a wheelie monster!
Also it does reduce the weight in the front wheel while cornering which could lead to losing the front.
And you would generally need to adjust your suspension a fair bit. The geometry changes a bit

Yeah I'd be worried about the front wheel. Is it bad wattie? Or can u still get ur weight forward enough?

Post by **Wattie** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 7:42 pm

No issues today even in wet patches. My wasn't transferring weight either
