I've been alright with the wrists and hands, have had a bit of a burning crampy type thing with the palm of my hand on the throttle grip though occasionally. I know you can adjust the reach on the front brake lever but can you do the same on the clutch lever? I don't mean move the biting point, that's fine, but the distance between the lever and the grip?
Heli bars can help with this, but I suppose it depends on your dimensions :confused:

R&G - OK so you don't have to cut the fairing to fit them, but you still have to replace the fairing when they fail

will the smaller sprocket affect insurance? - In theory yes, but don't be ridiculous :lol: What difference does it make? improves acceleration by increasing the revs for a given speed so it's at the cost of top speed. talking about 500rpm per tooth I think or 5-10mph top speed

Fender extender is #1
Crash bungs
Scottoiler
Handguards ('propa uns with the big bar down the middle)
Better seat
Hotgrips
Moh powah!! I'll just keep telling myself this. I'll believe it one day.
A fixer-peg under the seat
Spare levers if you don't go for handguards

I believe sprocket is a consumable so not as important to declare to insurers.

Crash bungs aren't designed to save the lower fairings.

So did mine-what one did you go for? I got the Suzuki 38L one from Robinson's Foundry and they sent me an extra (48L) by mistake!

PowerMadds do good hand guards, proper off road kinda things..

But i emailed the uk guy, and recieved nothing back..

So ordered DL handguards, £38.. :(

Nah go for barkbusters or similar, they won't just demolish themselves.

I highsided and it landed on the top of the handguard somehow, scuffed it, did not break. Renthals did not bend either.

has anyone got pics of handguards on a pointy? Would have thought they'd look a bit odd?! I'll look into the motosliders instead if they are that much better.
