Handlebar set-up

[MikeyG]

Put a set of lower flatter bars on the GN in the weekend. The originals had me sitting too upright and gave me a sore back. New ones just don't feel quite right. Are there any rules of thumb for adjusting the angles of the handlebars and levers?

Sit on the bike, put your hands on the grips and extend your fingers out parallel to the ground. The backs of your fingers should brush the levers with out really interfering in extending them. Thes means you won't have to hyper-extend your wrist up or down to make a grab for a lever.

In regards to the bar angle all you can do is alter it until you find something that works. Remember that you will have to reset the lever angles every time you change the bar angle and that without the wind pressure of 100km.hr you won't really know if the bar angle is OK for motorway work.
