Lincolnshire VTR

Cam67 · Post by **Cam67** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 1:04 pm

Hi, new to the forum after a fair while browsing the posts. Bought my 2nd VTR late last year, 2001 Y reg with a plan to keep standard until the ride back and my wrists and neck didn't feel the same as as when riding the 1st VTR back in 03. I guess this is an age thing so looking for ways to improve this. Any suggestions on cheap, quick fixes before major mods would be appreciated. I have read various posts from Genmar raisers to different bars & cutting fairings to re-clamping the bars??? For the uninitiated and non mechanically minded its a wee bit confusing, any thoughts with the 'keep it simple stupid' approach? Cheers.

hello from south Lincolnshire.

Ride mine everyday ... it only hurts when you get bogged down in traffic

hello and welcome.

your wrists and back questions will ring true with a few of us old feckers.

I tried raising the std bars [same effect as genmar] and that wasn't much better, then I went to flat bars and although I hear many people saying good things about VFR bars I think the flat bars are perfect with this bike.

comfort, control, and no reduction in sporty riding potential
