Riding Motor Since 1950
Kong is up and running . . . finally.
I mounted a new Michelin Road 5 up front.
The new handlebar change seemed never-ending.
After extending all the wiring to both bar controls, there was two sets of Barnett cables (at over $200 each set) and special connections for the two stainless steel brake lines it took to get the length correct, then after several connections of the throttle cables (a distinct PITA) in order to get the perfect routing, I'm finally ready for Talihina!
Just an oil & filter change for good measure left to do.
I set the bars where they feel best, but I don't like them not in line with the forks. I shall adjust properly (no biggie).
These are Flanders Bars I have had for some time, just never mounted.
They make the bike feel entirely strange and not really conducive to hooning the twisties, but I'll get used to them eventually. Like 14" pullback and I can now actually lean into my back rest.
