FF: Forks Raised Handle bar

[stumpy lord]

On a more serious note. Does anyone really think or believe that, that riding position affords anything approaching control of the motorcycle? I once bought a Yamaha XS750 triple with the intent of repairing and selling on. It came with what I believe were the standard bars which put the grips about the middle of my chest, I'm 5'6" tall, I had a hell of time moving that bike around the garage with the bars that high. After repairing it I took it for a ride, sitting on the bike the grips were just below the height of my shoulders. I did not feel confident riding it like that. The guy I bought it off of was a good foot or more taller than me. I know he didn't have any trouble moving the bike around. But I can't for the life of me see how anyone, regardless of how tall they are, can control a bike properly with bars like those in post # 21. Hell I can't fathom how anyone could even for one moment consider them comfortable.

I recon it would be not more than about ten minutes before his hands went to sleep due to lack of blood flow to his hands, one of the problems I used to have when rock climbing, the only answer was to lower my hands and wait for the feeling to come back.

I expect the blood from his head has replenished the blood in his hands.
