Title: Front mods to my 695M Post by: vigge79 on September 06, 2009, 11:03:22 AM I've only done a few simple things, Rizoma handle-bar (black), mirror, red pin-stripe, kellermann turn signals. Future mods include tail chop, exhaust (still planning GPR), also a few things on the possible mod-list clear glass headlight, carbon coated pipes.

GPR will put a huge smile on your face.... every day Something for you to try out: adjust the bars back quite a bit. I'm guessing that, where they are now makes your elbows point out and force you to lift your shoulders? If so, less control and sore shoulders. I like the red rim stripes and I envy you the 695 black engine covers [thumbsup] Title: Re: Front mods to my 695M Post by: rule62 on September 06, 2009, 01:40:58 PM Is that a Mirrycle mirror? [thumbsup]
I use them too. IMHO just as much visibility as some of the more expensive brands, but no need to get upset if I bash one. I've usually got a spare to use on my mountain bike. And when you're ready for the tail-chop, try using a "tight-fit" pipe cutter. I got one from a local hardware store. Cheaper than a hack-saw and leaves a nice smooth edge. Your original plastic bar ends will work perfectly as frame plugs for the chop.

I kind of like the wide handle I have now though.
