No way I could lane split on the Hyper...those lengthy bars with mirrors on the end combined with two bubba's on either side riding in Ford F250 King Ranch's equals disaster. Shocked

Well, I hear that the greatness of the Hyper is you don't need no stinkin' lane splitting; you can ride the dirt shoulder.  waytogo  Evil

That's why you get rid of the OEM handguards/blinkers and put on a set of Acerbis guards and "lane splitter" mirrors   chug

I lane splitted a wee bit in a nasty traffic jam yesterday.  Lane closing, 18-wheeler merging, hot bike, cramping clutch hand... saw some wide open spaces, merged in some, split the lanes and moved up a few cars into a more stable area of the jam.  Then I settled back in to my new spot.  Nobody messed with me, but I didn't get too crazy with it, just a little experiment.  I sure could see the benefit though.

It's physical (and mental) therapy. Shouldn't be a problem assuming everything goes perfectly.  waytogo
