Dropped the bars back this afternoon between call outs so I didnt get a chance to road test it. Helped a bit and with the backrest cranked up its close to where I want it, close but not quite.
One of the benefits of a drivers backrest is that you can reach behind you and wind it out or wind it tight to change the angle a bit. The ole spine hasn't had a easy life so shifting positions and pressure is pretty handy. Heck, the risers only cost 2 trips the the chiropractor.
I think that it will be risers soon. Kinda like those phat ones, and back about 2 inches would be dandy. That and since I they have been calling me out every 4 hours, the saftey chrome would already be paid for. (But honey, I NEED that so that people will see me better, you wouldnt want me to get hurt would you?

)
As to re-routeing the cables to the rear of the t-tree, it looks like they all run up the back now, am I missing something?
