Been awhile since I have updated much about my bike… if
you have seen the pictures, you will notice that I am using a beach baumer
handlebar (one of 2 of the handles given to me). Now, seeing how accessories
are expensive here in Malaysia, I had to think of something… was thinking of
trading my ape hangers for something else but nothing I liked was around for
trade. So I found a pair of risers from my regular shop and decided to try out
the welders skills… he cut my apes and made a simple little cut and paste with
a twist. We powdercoated it and tried it out…
What I feel so far:
-
I'm stretched forward so my spine absorbs bumps
and holes much better. Now, some of you may not feel it, but I do because of my
spinal issues. I had the theory that it helped because I used to ride a rigid
with a bad spine. Seems I was right.
-
Able to take corners much better now. It is more
stable when leaning in.
-
Stable on the straights.
-
I don't feel like flying off while riding fast.
Feels great.
-
Only bad point: Sucks at U turns.
