Title: handlebar placement Post by: ZachDDill on December 03, 2011, 09:17:46 AM Would it be more "sporty" to twist the handlebars forward or backwards?

Wrist angle changes and allows your elbows to be positioned down/in (like in roadracing) You should also rotate your brake/clutch to ensure correct wrist angle (straight) Title: Re: handlebar placement Post by: ZachDDill on December 03, 2011, 11:57:59 AM Alright thanks, I need to find some allen keys.

I heard Valentino Rossi has them on his bike. Title: Re: handlebar placement Post by: ducatigirl100 on December 04, 2011, 05:34:54 PM (http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l517/jfran745218/100_0846.jpg)
I've tried that but I ran on some clearance issues. The handlebar's risers hare not high in off to turn the bar all the way upside down or backward's. Although it looks cool (cafe racer style ...) I would say that's it's fairly dangerous because it minimized the turning radius to much.... up to the point that the bike was undrivable !!! I've got some clipp-ons insted ...more safe [thumbsup] [Dolph] (http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l517/jfran745218/100_0923.jpg) Now I just have to intall the "choke" esle where and finish up he upper tripple tree !! ;D Title: Re: handlebar placement Post by: COP TZR on December 05, 2011, 09:19:12 PM why dont you use the stock choke cable assembly that mounts on the bar to the right of the headlight controls?? It will look much cleaner.

[laugh] Do you know where I get it??? [Dolph] I sent you a PM. I've got a spare choke cable assembly. I could use your bar clamps, risers & bolts that mount to the top triple. Let me know if you want to part with them. I'm in Toronto, Canada. thanks Title: Re: handlebar placement Post by: Raux on December 11, 2011, 12:16:26 PM Just in case you all didn't see the other threads.
