So i was on a ride with JonKerr and at the end he gave me some really awesome pointers so i started working on what i could today afterwards.

Flipped the risers around and positioned the handlebars that worked for me (which i must add a amazing difference) Then i changed the ride height of my seat which also helped with shifting my body weight from side to side.

I have a couple of pics i took while doing it and after i was finished.

Ha ha, noticed that in the blow up pics in the mirrors. I adjusted my handlebars right away too. Much better. Gonna add clip-ons eventually but exhaust is my next must have mod.

They allow you more adjustments after I did it the bike had more of a aggressive feel then a sport bike feeling. When i hung over the motorcycle my wrist was not as much at an angle when leaning into a turn

This thread prompted me to raise my seat. Much better should have done it months ago

It shifts the bars approx 1" forwards and 1" down if you roll the bars backwards too = lot more comfort for your wrists and easier to tuck in

Not to hijack this thread, but since my handle bars are bent and I need to replace them, what is the advantage of clip-ons and what are the ones to buy for this bike.

Don't think there's any real advantage, just personal preference. Some say the bike turns better with clip ons. I just think they look better on our bike.

Actually when hanging off the bike while cornering its a much better position so your wrist isnt so cocked back. by the end of the ride before i did this my wrists were killing me, ride after i did this took some getting use too but after an amazing difference in position while hanging off considering wrist position and strain to hold onto the bar.
