     Xbkris |
I'm 180 pounds and 5"11. I've wanted to try this bike for a while so I sold my cruiser to get the xb. It obvious the ride is much different but the only thing that I can get used to is the forward lean. I feel like I'm riding the tank not the seat. Alot of pressure on my wrists until I'm heavy on the throttle. I plan on buying the 2 inch risers to help some. Is there anything else I can do to keep from riding my man parts on the tank the entire time. Thanks Guys | ||

I may have longer arms...I wear a 35" sleeve, but I am in a very upright riding position with bar risers. you may want to try bar backs. I cannot recall who makes them but they move the bars up and back an inch. You can also tilt the bars back somewhat. bb | ||

Doing my research. Can the two be done together? Thanks Billy | ||

It will take some time to get used to. I have a KTM 950 that I ride 50% of the time and when I get on the Uly it feels weird. The Uly is not a cruiser. Thanks for that. It's so much more fun. | ||

You can gain several inches of additional reach 'relief' by loosening the four bar clamp bolts and just rolling the bars back towards you. You may not need risers. | ||

I have never seen a uly on person so I dont know where the stock bars are set but I feel like mine have had that done before. You can see marks on the metal where the bars where once clamped. I will check for that though. Thanks |
