Ive done the same but with narrower bars. Im trying to hunt out some mirrors i can see with now.

Looks like you could do with a clutch and brake fluid change.

put some risers on it. pop a 6mm spacer at the rear end and welcome to the world of fun.. it will steer like a boat with the forks like that. iv now pushed my forks up through the yokes and its so much better :thumbup:
the older i get,the faster i was :lol:

As Bigtwinthing says, a 43 tooth rear sprocket is the biggest rear sprocket you can fit with a standard 16 tooth front sprocket and standard length drive chain,

still worries me when I see people dropping the forks that far when they fit bar clamps for flat bars. the bike is not going to turn well with that geometry, and with1" at the back end to compensate you are just moving the Centre of gravity higher, the already weak forklegs are now longer so with twist more and I suspect the linkage is hitting the exhausts.

trick is to tilt the risers backwards so the ctr of the bar is above the yoke bolt, then the bars will sit just behind the fork legs and you can run them in the correct geometry

My bars go over the fork steerer tube so they sit behind the fork legs. I dont have this issue.
