Miles Posted May 11, 2013 Share #13 Posted May 11, 2013 Hey, nice bike. Too bad about the rain you rode in...it looks like it washed all the paint off your new bike,. and left you with the primer. Now, a Black bike would not have that happen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano Posted May 12, 2013 Share #16 Posted May 12, 2013 I see that you've got it packed into the garage quite well, that way you won't have to move it around when you need something!! Now it's easier to just walk out there and look at it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake Pad Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share #18 Posted May 12, 2013 can I raise the handle bars, they hit my thighs when turning ( 36 inseam ) all legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinman Posted May 12, 2013 Share #19 Posted May 12, 2013 I have not found a way to raise them there is a aftermarket thing to spread them look a goldwing online.com for that item Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted May 12, 2013 Share #20 Posted May 12, 2013 can I raise the handle bars, they hit my thighs when turning ( 36 inseam ) all legs YES...there are several adapters that can do this for you. If you go to... www.wingstuff.com ... and you do a search for handlebar risers, you will come up with 3 good ones, and 1 bad one. Ignore the one bad one. Here...I will do it for you. http://wingstuff.com/shop/?keyword=handlebar+risers Ignore item # 3. Bad... I use item # 4, and have used the same ones on all of my 3 GL-1800's, and am using it on my new F6B. A lot of riders like to use item # 1, or item # 2. The major difference is that some of these will RAISE the aft end of your handlebars (the hand grip end), like Item # 4 does...and some of them will not only raise the handlbar, but will also bring the grip end of the bars IN...and...some will PULL the handlebar grip end BACK. So, you can have the choice of raising the bar ends...bringing the bar ends IN a little closer, and/or pulling the handlebars BACK a little. All of these 3 items that I mentioned are good. It depends on what YOU want your handlebars to be like when done. Personally, I have been satisfied with Ityem # 4. It is the most simple, as all it does is RAISE the bar end up about 3/4" to maybe 1". The choice is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
