Thanks for that link! Alot of good ideas. As for handlebars what would be the easiest and most comfortable..clubmans or clip ons or any other bars? Been researching this and didn't come up with much.

Ha, Tools, I don't get it, but the apes seem to be coming back, around here anyway.

Curtis, the bars, that's maybe one of the most personal things a guy does with a bike.

The clipons, they bolt to the forks.
The clubmans, kinda the same thing but mount to the triple tree. Not much more than
a sraight bar with a slight bend in them.
I run what some call superbike bars, a slight rise both up and back. They miss hitting my tank by maybe 1/4 inch. And I cut an inch off each side.
Or run what Tools recommends, apehanges, they rise sometimes 2 feet, eye level or more when your sitting
straight up.

This is what I have going on, with my F model anyway.

You get into the clipons and clubmans, you gotta watch the clearance to the tank at full lock turn.
