gregallnutt...that bike is VERY nice! How high are the handlebar riser blocks on it? Does it make the riding position much more comfortable? Bars look great too, LOVE the flat black paint look!

Hi Ken, thanks! the risers are 60mm & yes, it certainly makes the riding position even better than the very good standard. They also do a 42 mm one. Another reason for the improvement is that the bars taper back slightly too, so there is less reach, from all the mods I have done, the bars were the best! Highly recommended.

Have a good look at Rizoma on http://www.moorespeedracing.com/

Been giving mucho consideration to bars that angle back just a touch more myself. Not clip-ons as my Ninja had, but something that is more comfortable on my hands than the ST3. The Pazzos have most certainly improved overall hand comfort, but more personalized bars would go far as well me thinks . And I may consider gel grips at some point as, like some others, my right hand tends to get rather weary on my hour commute even when trying to hold the throttle as lightly as possible w/ the Gerbings. I don't really notice any vibration, but something is going on there. I have been awaiting the day that the padded electric gloves are put away f/ good f/ the summer and I can see if things are okay w/ thinner summer gloves. We'll see.

Feeling the joy
I finally gave in and got the green that was available. I already had an EX 500 but OMG what a big difference. It was so much easier to ride and so much fun. Now the question is how am I supposed to stay below 5k RPM on highways!!!

A happy 8 year old pillion (my daughter) taken by the Creg Ny Baa last weekend. How casual is she?
