    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hand Controls on Drag Bars- 750E

My new (to me) 78 GS750E has drag bars on it and I like the look but when I went to adjust the clutch and brake levers to a more natural/comfortable position I realized that they could not roll down/forward because they hit the top of the forks (triple tree?). Any advice on what to do? No, I do not want to replace the drag bars so save your opinion on those for yourself. I'm looking for advice from someone who's replaced the stock clutch/brake levers with something smaller. I found a replacement clutch lever and a brake lever that utilizes a remote reservoir, but I'm not sure if that's the route I should go, or if I should consider risers. I'm not tall (5'10") and it is a bit of a stretch for me now. https://picasaweb.google.com/107299...&authkey=Gv1sRgCI2-gIfS8P32XQ&feat=directlink

I read BikeCliff's tutorial and STILL can't figure out how to post pics!!! :mad: I tried resizing the images to upload directly and couldn't get them small enough so I went the public album route and never got that to work properly either. Any advice on that, guys?
 
I dunno maybe some riser adapter. And use photobucket, share, copy and paste the img code..
 
Dog-bone risers would permit you to keep your drag bars and also bring the bars closer to you if you wish.
