Ergonomics

Remember you can always change bars or raise them should you find the lean angle uncomfortable.

guys where saying that bar risers made the bike control feel awful,
but i did think about it

Help me decooney! What bars and clamps did you switch to? I've been told by my local performance bike shop that there wasn't nearly enough slack for the Rox Speed Fx 2" pivoting risers that I have. Did you have to get all new brake and electric lines? How much did they whole operation cost. Any help/info would be greatly appreicated. I love my FZ8 but at 5'5" with short arms, long highway days are miserable as my only option on my Corbin seat is to sit all the way up front where there is little padding with my crotch on the tank. I need to get my butt further back in the proper postion on the saddle. Thanks, Dunny from Jersey

i switched from a cruiser (road star warrior) to fz8. mold your body to the bike. squeeze the tank with your legs, tighten stomach mussels to take weight off handle bars & when possible ride with the balls of your feet on the pegs. i know, your feet don't have balls but trust me.
