August 30, 20223 yr Ok probably an odd question but… There’s three offset positions for the factory bar clamps. Mine have been set in the middle but I’m finding my weight is getting too far forward. Rolling the stock bars forward helps (yes it’s counter intuitive) but the sweep of the bars puts my wrists in a slightly strained position. Do any of you use the forward offset position and if so how do you like it?
August 31, 20223 yr Although the Factory Top Triple clamp has 3 location positions for the handlebar clamps, I noticed that those clamps (as well as V-Mar clamps) are "offset" from center, so there are also more options; such as turning around the clamps and using the forward-most location to get a smaller change. I'm still using the center mounting option; though I did easily go over the bars last Saturday at a competition when descending off a rock into another rock and stuffing front wheel!
September 1, 20223 yr Author Rode some today with the clamps forward and it felt pretty good. Took a little while to get the turning recalibrated.👍
September 2, 20223 yr Foot pegs in rear position with bars in original location you mentioned tried first ? Open up the riding cockpit ...
September 2, 20223 yr Author Hi Billy, Yeah opening up the cockpit was what I had in mind. Haven’t moved footpegs. It’s a thought but just haven’t got that far into it. Moving the bars was cheap and easy to start with. I remember Ryan used to sell platform pegs that I liked because it forced me to foot back further but I haven’t seen them for many years. But you know me. I do enjoy tinkering.
September 2, 20223 yr Hi Dan.... Mount S3 pegs on Beta and play with moving them back and forth. Spilt the ergonomics between bars and pegs to get the best personal settings. Less impact on front steering and rear traction. Tune to taste 😎
