Re: straight bars-trick bitz risers
ok, i'm sure we can come up with something. i'm a little disappointed as my riding style is dictated by how i sit. i prefer being upright and 'lead' with my elbow if that makes sense. i learned to ride in motocross as a kid. but that just doesnt work for me anymore, for some reason, so i'm going back to clip-ons. i'll keep you posted.

Re: straight bars-trick bitz risers
i know. it is rather strange. maybe i'm past the upright stage and gradually returning to ape again! i'm not planning to spend any more on this thing unless something breaks, so i will keep it as standard as possible. i'm spending more at David Silver again on the 750s i'm rebuilding so i have to be careful with the cash. my friendly mechanic is bleeding everything on wednesday so after it's done i'm just going to ride a lot before the cold weather sets in.
