Probably more power than I can deal with

martyappleything,
happy to let you use mine in Devon

thanks for the offer Al, atm i'm ok on the storm, I did the trip to wales and back the other day, about 250 each way, and with 3 little stops along the way, it was easy enough. i'm just thinking of ways to make the bike a little more comfy, I highly recommend the flip screen for anyone having to do motorway miles.
but I can think of one minor issue with higher bars, because of my rotund figure, I find there's a fair bit of difference involving my body position when cornering, leaning forward into the corner puts more weight over the front wheel, giving much better feedback. but if I don't lean forward the front feels vague. by raising the bars I doubt i'll be able to put as much weight over the front wheel as I do now.
I know you're a wee slip of a lad Al, but did you notice any difference when you did the high bars, or is it something you can adjust to?

Good question Marty

The front is lighter and more twitchy ,I had to drop the front a bit to stabilise it even when leaning on the front in bends .

and your weight is not so much over the front and your a tad more upright its wheelies easier

And easier to input to much into the bars .but wheelie good fun .

same, i dropped the forks a bit more and reduced the preload. I ride the front end as well, so this worked fine to get reconnected
