It was a bigger job than I expected, but finally got it all together, got rid of the cable binding, extended the brake switch leads, etc. It was all worth it. Got out today on a beautiful 70+ degree sunny day in upstate NY. What a treat. I'm not in pain after a 50 mile ride, the steering is lighter, turning is effortless, and it's just so much more comfortable - almost as good as my xb12ss. I know there are proponents of the clubmans and good for them - but the CR is now the bike I wanted it to be. Before I could tell had killer bike potential, but the ergos were getting in the way of the experience for me. Not any more! | ||

Amen. Just sold my Ducati 848 and bought the CR from McHenry in IL, had em put the high bars on b4 it shipped to me in CT....I now have a serious case of perma-grin whereas I had only tempo-grin on the Duc...so stoked for this riding season and to be back in the Buell fam. | ||

Funny, I live about 5 minutes from the McHenry shop. I rode one of the bikes with the high bars and found it to be really comfortable. I liked the faring so much though I went with the R. | ||

Don't you love when you gas the thing, how it puts you into the back of the seat. Acceleration is pretty cool. I like my high bars. I also put on the lower pegs, 1 inch. | ||

Yeah, I'm thinking about lower pegs, but that hasn't bothered me too much - certainly nothing like the clubman bars. Did you put the lightning pegs on, or??? | ||

Uly pegs. Same drop but a lot larger surface. After the bars, that's the best mod. R |
