Good to hear about getting used to the bar position, I am a very similar height and weight.... and I have to admit that since writing that post, the wrists have actually started to feel better, especially after a couple of good squirts on our awesome roads down here ;)Salty Dog wrote:In Vic mate, on the Ocean Road.RickTheHuman wrote:Not far from Hobart in the south mate!

Been down your way a few times, best roads in Oz are in Tassie.
And considering you are also into Fishing, Dirtbike's and 4WD's, you are obviously one of our countries better men ;)
To add, i'm 6'2" and 105Kg without gear.
I didn't find i had to change the bars, its just a matter of getting used to the Road Bike after being on the Dirt Bike.
Once you get over the initial learning curve of shuffling a 200Kg bike around, it will all fall into place and feel normal and comfortable.
Sounds like your forks have been done, which is great, as i found it the first point of weakness on my bike, especially at my weight.

You lucky barstuard
I got a photo of the RR. It is a finned model. Does it look like its been updated?
Another question. What belongs in the space under the seat next to the toolkit? There is a long thin cradle of some sort, with a v cut out of the end.
Started on the CCT stopper mod last night
Cheers
