    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just finished a little night test ride, after installing the OURY block pattern grips (Dennis Kirk P/N 61-395 $11.99) and Kuryakyn throttle lock (Dennis Kirk P/N 19-04821 $26.99). About a 45 min. stall, waited and hour and rode. Very comfortable grip and takes most of the 65 - 70 MPH vibration out. The throttle grip is soooo nice for the 45 min. I-75 test drive.
 
Out of curiosity, how wide are your handlebars? Mine are 27.5 straight across grip ends- always seemed small to me, but I've grown used to it.
 
Tom, mine measure the same. I would like them to be a little wider and flaten the angle on the grip area, to lessen the bend on my wrists. The throttle lock has been a blessing.

I guess mine are stock then! I picked up a 3 inch wider bar (yamaha 500 twin), but never installed as I gradually got used to this. I spent most of my time on dirt bikes, so I originally felt I needed to be able to wrestle bike more, but the geometry seems to work on the street.
