Relieving Wrist Pressure?

  1. I think with the SS and the ie they should go around corners constantly
    Straight line riding seems to induce painful neck and shoulders wrists I can't comment on
    In town riding I found I leant one arm on tank and one hand on bars to be upright just to relieve the pressure

    For some reason having a backpack on seemed to help

  2. If anyone is put off the adjustable bars because of the fairing being too low, note I bent my front subframe 3cm higher in anticipation of fitting those bars just using my hands with the frame still on the bike. I can't tell the difference regarding the shape of the bike and now I can see the indicator light on my clocks. Win win so far. Not ridden it yet and am anticipating either having my head ripped off even more at high speeds or possibly even an improvement!
     
  3. adjustable bars on my bike helped a bit

    but as regards neck I found an open faced helmet with a wider field of vison meant you didn't have to crank your neck back at such an extreme angle
     
  4. What adjustable bars did you go for Ken, was this an IE?
     
  5. We ride very similarly Viv..........:tonguewink:

  6. gillies bars

    scored them off flea bay

    bars listed for ducatis always went for silly moneym got a set off a Suzuki, same inside diameter on the clamps and just redrilled the switchgear locating pin holes

    these lifted bars about an inch and changed angle to a less acute angle
    really need to lift entire (half) fairing about an inch or so to raise bars further, thought about it but have other more pressing projects that need attention
