Angle of Bars

Post by f17th »

Hi im wondering what angle the bars should be at ?
Im pretty sure mine are angled too far in as when i turn the bars to go round a slow corner my wrists will hit the tank without moving the bars much.

Cheers

mine trap my fingers too. There is threads tapped in the underside of the yoke, and a bolt goes through the clip on to get it in the tight place

I bought some woodceaft clip ons. They don't bolt to the yoke so can be at any angle and can also be a bit higher which makes long distances much more comfy.

Thats pretty much normal for sportsbikes without raised clip ons, your not supposed to go round corners slowly :smt003

Theres always the chance both your bars are bent in slightly from someone dropping it though.

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
