Well that's a case of pot , kettle , black if ever I heard one .
That man from Glenrothes , he laughed and he scoffed , then used his carpenter pipes , six months in the kitchen to hang his haggis aloft !
I forgot to mention , I greased and adjusted the head bearings also whilst the bars were off .
I have never used T bars before , or even sat on a bike that had them fitted . I wanted them as vainly , I thought they looked manly and cool . When I finished the bike it was late sat night and I hadn't even fitted my new seat as I had left it at home . Early Sunday morning I wheeled the bike out of the garage popped the seat on , started her up , got dressed and jumped aboard . In the first hundred yards I was grinning from ear to ear . A total transformation . The bars feel higher and slightly narrower , but at the same time , far more connected to the front end . There was no playing around with rotation etc , as the new position of the instruments kind of dictate where the bars sit in the clamps without touching the chrome of the clocks . I'm 6foot 2 and the riding position had changed from not sure before , to absolutely spot on . Quite frankly the difference in handling was outstanding . Gone was the horrible feeling with the old bars , that they wanted to snatch out of your hands when you hit bumps and undulations in the road . The front end felt firm , planted and solid with no flex or creaks. In a nutshell Dave , they are def the most worthwhile mod in sense of ride enjoyment that I have put on the bike . Pull back feels perfect with no fatigue to hands and wrists as before and after 150 miles I wanted to ride on and on . And they look manly and cool !
