How many different ways can we say it

I will have to see if the assembly can be rotated down a bit Housing is pegged to a hole in the handlebar tube, so no. At least it is on mine. It might be one of those cases where you learn to adapt then it becomes automatic. Examples - I can now use my left heel on the heel shifter and reach down ...

Enduro is the best motorcycle seat I've ever sat on. Mind you that may not say much for the others. Not perfect but I can stay on it much longer than some others I have had in the past, where rest stop intervals go from 2 hours to 1 hour to 30 minutes...

Surely!


Update on the tank knee rubber pads. Much nicer to grip between your knees than just the rubber strip.

OK, I learned my lesson do not put gasket...

This is total bollox - any chance of taking it away and giving to someone else?

Crap

No need to mess with original lever comes with own lever straight swap, see second photo. What I like about this one is doesn't need taking tank off and messing with the ignition coils. Some people have broken things that way!
