Old gits comfort

[scouse645]

Hi, over the last year or so iv'e started to get bad pains all over, especially on long runs, isle of man ect, can only do about 50 miles when i need to stop i don't want to give it up yet but i was wondering if there is anything i can do to make it more comfortable, not the seat so much as i think that's comfy, maybe the bars or footrests in a better position? i think it's a comfy bike overall but we all get older

Mod the handle bars with raisers (trimming fairing usually req.) and get footrests dropped.

Or look at getting a comfy Varadero...

good suggestions i like the vtr though.

I presume when you fit raisers the cables are not long enough?

Try a search (top right) for :

I have gone down the Renthal flat bar handlebar conversion myself this year. I was getting problems with my neck, this mod has well been worth while for me now I'm getting on a bit
