Tech Tip - Handlebars

There is a lot of talk these days about custom fitting our motorcycle. This tech tip we are going to talk about handlebar fitment.


Having the right handlebar setup will make a big difference on your riding comfort. When selecting handlebars you should sit on the bike and hold your arms in the position you are most comfortable. Your back should be straight and your arms should slightly bent. There are many different handlebars to choose from - so finding the right one can be difficult. Always remember if you have to reach where your arms are straight out and you back is not straight you will not last long riding in comfort. Some times just moving your handlebar an inch or 2 up or down makes a big difference in comfort. The next time you get on your bike check it out are your arms in the correct position?
