Modifications

When I purchased this bike I found the riding position leaned too far forward. I got a sore neck after a short ride. I also noticed a lot of vibration through the grips, especially around 70mph. I purchased some risers from MotorcycleLarry but it still didn't feel quite right. Then I bought the HeliBars handle bar system. These turned out to be a great way to shape your riding position. In the end I combined the risers with the HeliBars and now I have a ride similar to that of a Goldwing or BMW LT. Now that I sit straight up I have less weight on the grips and don’t notice the vibration anymore. I also purchased the tallest windscreen from Rife and have virtually no wind in my face. I wear an open face by the way. The only thing I had to purchase was a brake line for 2 bucks at a cycle salvage place. Only needed to be an additional 2”. Any brake line will do. Just have to get the Dot number right. The throttle cable just has to be fed through on the right side of the frame and the choke cable fed under the handle bars. It’s all very easy to do. I highly recommend doing this if you’re uncomfortable with the riding position as I was.
