i have Grand Prix Touring on my Bandit which are pretty close to what you have. I also tried the 2" risers, but find them more uncomfortable than the bars by themselves. The biggest improvement I found was to rotate the bars rearward until they only cleared the top of the tank by 1/4" when reaching the steering stop. My bike has been set that way for ten years and I can sit there until I get tired of watching the sun come up and go down. hehOriginally posted by bobgroger View PostThis is a combination What did you wrench on today, Anybody go for a ride, and Why don't Amerikans buy Kanadian bikes post. I did a couple jobs this morning, one took me by the Drivers License office. I had the proper documentation to get my Enhanced Drivers License so I can go to Canada, buy a bike, and bring it across the border. Then I got home, my new longer brake line for the Bandit had arrived so I swapped it out, re-routed the clutch line and throttle cables so I could fit my new 2" ROX Risers to the Daytona touring bars. Ever since I got the Bandit I have not been comfortable on it, after 3 sets of bars and 2 risers this is the best yet. Not 100% but I think I could do a long day now. So I bled the brakes and went for a quick spin. Note to self: mid 50's is still too cold for mesh jacket...

I used the GP touring bars too but with a 1" riser which helped, but it wasn't until I reshaped the seat building up the nose did my old B12 finally feel comfortable. The stock seat just never felt right...and I've owned 2 of them.Last edited by Guest; 02-02-2016, 10:26 AM.Comment

It was damn good day to ride yesterday Lurch!
After a brief 3 week hibernation period... I got sick of not riding. Grabbed 120 miles yesterday!!! The ZG1400 is back out to terrorize the VT roads!
Lots of salt and sand though...
Yeah, Febuary 1st and it looks like March. Trees are running! Sap is Boiling, early start to the Sugarin' season this year!Last edited by Jedz123; 02-02-2016, 01:33 PM.Jedz Moto

Yup, I knew you would be out riding too. After spending most of Jan in the tropics with great weather and no bike, I had to get my fix too!! I even looked at a 200cc dual sport bike for $2k USD brand new with warranty, while down there but didn't pull the trigger because I couldn't ship it back with me.Originally posted by Jedz123 View PostIt was damn good day to ride yesterday Lurch!

I had the best ride of my 2016 yesterday. It may have been my go-to 120 mile route, but the sun was shining, my bike was singing, there were no cars out, and all was right with the world.
Can't wait till the high mountain passes open up in a few months. Then the real fun begins!Comment

Tried my old dash cam with a new lens and a new mount fixed to the rear indicator stalk.
It was going quite well until the USB lead became disconnected and powered the unit off.

Geez, that's pretty good video for a dash cam. Research has shown that continually putting a heavy wallet in your back pocket can cause irreversible hip damage over time...
