took my bike for its first proper ride yesterday now all the issues were sorted and really loved it.
However the only thing i dont like is the handlebars which are the standard 650 special ones. i find i have to pull my hands and wrists in quite a lot and it feels quite uncomfortable. i think the pull back is too much (is it about 13 ?) and would like the handlebars to be where the brake and clutch lever are which is maybe 3 inches less. just wonder what is the best way of changing things. can the bars be bent back out, maybe after applying heat from a blow torch or should i just get a new set of bars. if so, does anyone know which bars would meet my requirements.
thanks
