Hand Controls on Drag Bars- 750E

[Guest]

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/1072996...eat=directlink

I read BikeCliff's tutorial and STILL can't figure out how to post pics!!! 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.



Something similar to this:

Good luck!
