Rear brake? What's that? Never used it.

Very interesting post.
I'm waiting with interest to see how you find it with the 'bars in some lower risers.

My problem is I'm 6'5". I've rotated the 'bars forward in the clamps to give a bit more reach but I would also like to rotate the levers further on the 'bars. I've tried it already but it means that the stock mirrors are then about as much use as t!ts on a bull.
The lenses won't tilt enough in the housings. If I keep the Evo, I'll probably fit some Rizoma's as I believe the stems rotate in the adaptors.

Otherwise, great bike. I had a pair of SportSmarts fitted when the bike had it's wheel re-call, only done about 250 miles on them so far though.


Took this out for a morning a few weeks ago, loved it!

I tend to use the rear brake when doing slow manoeuvres. I find it a bit tricky trying to slip the clutch balance the throttle and drag the front brake. I also use the rear brake when I'm "making progress" on a twisty road.
