Riding position/ Adjustments to the bars?

[stormi]

Was wandering what brand windshield that is your red Bandit. Where can I get one and a tank bra also? How has the taller shield helped at speed?

Saw a suzuki tank bra at the cycle shop in a shop here in Canada today for $70,... I'd think that should be around $45 for you guys?  maybe even less.

I put Helibars on.  Almost infinitely adjustable.  Comes with longer steel braided brake line.  You may need longer clutch and throttle cables for maximum effect and to prevent binding.

By the by. How do you like your heli bars?  Could you tell us how far up and back you have 'em set. How tall you are would affect any of this, of course. I'm 5' 10" and find that I have too much weight on my wrists for long rides on two lane roads with traffic.

Thanks for anything you care to offer.

The tank bra for the 2G Bandit carries a $32.95 MSRP in the USA.
It's only $30.92 at Ron Ayers.

figures,... man do we ever get soaked for parts here.  Considering the exchange rate is 1.25 right now.... that says to me that we should be paying around $50 for it.  Starting to think a trip over the border to do a little shopping is in order.  Wouldn't take long to pay for the trip with a few accessories installed before returning across the border.  Problem is,.. there's not much for me in Montana (directly South of us.)

We get lots of Vancouver area shoppers visiting us around here. I've even helped a few Canadian friends install their US bought parts before heading back home.

I don't doubt it!  That's awfully kind of you :)  too bad I wasn't thinking of grabbing some stuff last Nov when I was in Seattle for a quick vacation.... at the time, I didn't have enough time on her to determine what I needed and didn't.  I didn't have her with me, but even with duty I doubt it would have been as bad as retail up here.  For instance,.. the Tech4 dirt boots my BF wants are $270 here!  I've seen them online for half that from the states.

I'm 5'8.  Got the bars as high as they'll go.  I guess I'm up 3 inches, but haven't measured.  I'd say I'm 3 or so inches back.  Would go farther by angling the grips in towards the tank more, but my throttle cable is binding; need longer one.  The way I have it right now, if I turn the forks all the way to the left it tugs on the throttle cable and the engine races.  An inch or two longer cable will make all the difference.

I like them way better than stock.  It was great that the kit came with a longer steel braided brake line, but it needed to come with a longer clutch and throttle cable, too, to give full flexibility.  Position issues won't be completely solved until I get longer cables.
