I told them my weight, that i ride two up regularly, told them his weight, told them 80% commuting, 20% sport riding. Problem is i think they tried to come to a compromise setting so that you still have some comfort when commuting....the reality is i only really care how it handles in Sport Mode, should of told them that! I can put up with a bumpy ride, if it means the bike is handling as sharp as possible.

Definitely needs more pre-load, and more damping, shock is way too soft, anyway, i am sure that once i adjust it, we will get closer.

And i just went for a ride, up & down a few of the nice twisty hillside roads near my house, and i am very happy. Riding position is half way between OEM, and clip on's. Bit more weight over the front of the bike due to the flat nature of the bar, yet my hands are closer to my body, due to the pulled back angle of the drag bars. Bars are also 20mm wider than OEM fz6 bars, so i get to see more in my mirrors.

Makes the bike feel a lot more sporting re riding position, whilst remaining fairly neutral, which is what i did not want to lose. Am guessing that with the addition of a set of rearsets adjusted correctly, the bike would be even me comfortable for me to ride.

Very happy with this mod. If you want the bike to feel, and look a bit more sporty, it works on both fronts. Plus as i wrote before, you get to see more in your mirrors!

Yes very happy with the Bars...makes the bike feel and look so much better, Bike now has a very low profile, due to bars not sticking up twowards the heavens.

Bagster bag does not quite fit as i would like just yet, but i think that has more to do with the fitter, than the quality of the product....am going to have another go at it when i get some time.\

Transforms the look of the bike! From a very loud Orange Bike, to a more stealthy looking black. I like both. so i can have some fun with that.

Cant wait for my new front sprocket to get here now.

Then this round of mods is done!

Oz i checked this morning and had no answer so i ordered them from californian touring sport. I have ordered a second set just in case, but will want to show them to shops first.
