Sparkey

Bobcat, I thought about the risers but it looked like the handle-bars would not longer be resting in the rubber mounts of the faring. Do these mounts move up some how:icon_smile_question I think the risers would make the difference I need. What are levelers? Sparkey

I got my 09 this summer and after 4000 mile I agree with jbose, too much reach and the saddle isn't as good as the Mustang on my C50. I added the Grasshopper backrest ($110) and the highway pegs and that helped some, but I need those grips closer. I also rolled the bars up as far as I could and gained about 2 inches of end rise. That adjustment really helped with the shoulder pain. I seen on the forum they recommend the Flanders FL650-08763 but it requires longer throttle cable. My question is; has anyone tried the direct replacement bars by Baron which they claim works with the stock cables, etc. I am referring to JPCycle #ZZ50129 or Dennis Kirk #59-5929. Two different bars by Baron they claim work with the stock cables. If so, did it help and how far back did it move the grips? I think 2 to 3 inches would help. Also, what are the modifications to the seat referred to in the postings? I am new to the forum thing so if I am doing this wrong, somebody point me in the right direction. Sparkey

Rain does lessen the fun. I headed WV way last Thursday with Central PA being the destination on a beautiful day and hit worst storm ever at Clarksburg, WV. I sure was glad to see one of those big Pilot signs. Waited it out there and made PA late in the day. Did some nice riding the following day but after checking out the weather, decided to beat cheeks back to Ohio on Saturday. Be raining ever since. Our plan was to ride to Cass, WV tomorrow, but the way it looks here, we will most likely be making the trip in the cage. Bummer. Hope you find some sunshine.
