... am only riding in the way you describe if I am going above 100mph in a straight line, so need to tuck in away from the air blast. When I am going fast ... legs are gripping the tank to remove as much force off my hands / handlebars, so the only input is to steer the bike. ... arms relaxed and not locked ...

i have a RWU blade front end on my storm which is around 35mm shorter than standard apparently, but it feels really pitched forward, even with straight bars. i assume a shorter shock would even this out? i know hagon do shorter shocks on request. thanks

... y not! IMG_0191.jpeg As ever with McQueen tours, it’s not straight to the beach, we have to play on windy roads first, so off we go from Ma ... but the bends are so frequent and tight you cant take your hands off the bars to wipe your visor ….. catch 22! We were out the other side of it in less ...

... on radar watch, and we spotted the trend to put the radars on the few straights where you would be going for the fast overtakes to get past the trucks ... any time the road is straight enough for me to take my left hand off the bars, Tony on the other hand hasn’t had a drink for a while and is starting to ...

... out, its back together and thought id try it out, the we bike seems straight but i wanted to see if it fired me over the bars again :eek2 . replaced the front master for a yamaha one, brakes dont feel just as strong as before but i can live with that rather than crashing, only done about 3 miles ...

... reading a few posts on here I gathered what I needed. Renthal Low Rise Bars Moto-CNC fork/yoke conversion Venhill Brake Lines. Last night I stripped ... told you that’. Initially it went well and to be fair it was pretty straight forward, I was let down by my woeful brake bleeding and my p ...

treading on dodgy ground here! lot of fighter hate which is understandable, looking at some of them. although i'm in the process of butchering mine to make it suitable for an old git - dropped subframe, pegs, straight bars etc. i'll post some pics as it takes shape, or not if it's crap...

... at some stage this year. Adjusted the clipon position, to try to get the bars level with the front wheel straight ahead. Another pet hate. And I found a way to route the clutch cable so that it didn't enter the adjuster at an angle, it's not entirely straight but it'll do. I only use the clutch to pull ...

... And maybe a photos with the forks on the lock stops. I am looking for a bike to buy and one nice looker has had the faring behind the mirrors cut away. It looks like its got stock bars. Emails were answered until I asked about the fairing. Murv Harris 1.jpg Murvinator 271021 4.JPG new clutch 1.JPG

... I can get a better idea of how much the fairing was trimmed? And maybe a photos with the forks on the lock stops.

... as a satnav to the Tuono clipons. I had a nice quadlock set up on the straight bars, but it won't fit the clipons. I bought a stem mount, but it's not secure - the stem nut is quite short and the expanding bit sits below the nut. So I have up and ebayed some spacers and some carbon fibre flat bar to ...

Keep the fairing. Any straight bar set up will fit with minor trimming. I uesd an CnC yoke, Renthal bars & CBR f4i masters. I have CBR f4i callipers on my one so the masters needed changing anyway. Just trimmed the fairing to take the 'ears' off to clear the masters. As for the mirrors I have extenders ...

Going to remove the front fairing and straight bar swap my firestorm, anyone have a rough list of parts I need to do this? In assuming top yoke, bars, lines, and some sort of headlight and indicator setup? I know it's not to everyone's taste but I'm struggling to ride without straight bars and it will ...

... are a few things you can try to ease the issue apart from swapping the bars... Try relaxing your grip on the bars, no need to hang on for dear life ! Relax your shoulders so your not riding with straight arms,a bend at the elbow in other words... Also play with the angle of the controls, brake ...
