forward controls

[thetank]

can someone send me pics and maybe measurments on their forward controls? i have a mill and lathe i just want some starter ideas to build from so that i am not starting from scratch...o and anyone have an extra exaust can they might be interested in selling? i have full hindle 4 to 1 but the can is huge and doesnt look right with my idea of stripping it down

what rear tire is that!?

 

[misiek93]

look in my album, I'm selling my IXIL muffler (haven't posted it yet) $100 shipped, ($104 if PP). I got it only few months ago but I want marks 4-2-2. I'm pretty sure it will fit any 4-2-1 header. It has the mounting bracket made already and a welded on collector to be used with 4-2-1 headers. PM if interested.

mine is a slip on can style just like my r1

LOL That is what I was fixing to ask. It looks like it would be great off road.

I have the ixil can on my hindle system that is identical to yours. Sounds awesome. I've also been talking to mark about getting one of his 12" cans to fit.

not trying to insult anyone else's work but from what i saw it gave me a start but i think i might be able to tweak it a little better....i am wandering if i can make a set that works but still lets the factory parts work too...i wanna be able to cruise but i still like to be able to eat the rockets up too and i feel better cornering hard with my feet back(but i am spoiled with cornering from my r1)
if i can figure out a good set up i might have to make a few extra to barter with

To be able to use both positions would be awesome. Im the same way in corners. I just bought my max this year. I had an FZR100 and a Suzuki bandit 1200 moded before so I like legs back in corners.. it doesn't feel like I have as much control if my feet are on my crash bars.. im 6'4" so my legs are pritty crammed

Don't understand the foward controls..puts more strain on your back as well

Think " leg cramp " .

Well how tall are you? When your tall your really cramped on these bikes.. they are deffinently mad for short people!

Crap & I thought I had a Mans bike now I find out its for short people. Maybe I should just give the other one to my girlfriend to.:rofl_200:

 

[donnelly317]

Hahahaha I don't know if your GF can handle the 1500. It deffinetly is a mans bike just im a little tall for it! Anyone 6' and over will agree with me.

I used to get leg cramps with the stock seat, then Sean lowered it and the cramping went away! I'm 6' tall, 32" inseam.
I am going to try some hiway bars for the long trips just to have a change up position for the feet.

 

[Diablotin]

Funny I would have thought the opposite. Lower seat would make the legs more crampled and add more stress.
I'm 5'9 but also get cramps, I was thinking to consider adding a bit on the seat (not stock anymore) ...

Yeah, not for sure why the cramps stopped. I had cramps one season, over the winter i had Sean redo my seat and the cramps were not there the next season...It could be that the bloodflow to the legs was better b/c my rear end wasn't going numb on the stock seat anymore.:confused2: I do know that the seat was waaay more comfortable!!:biglaugh:
*Just to add to this: I did have Sean rework the seat a second time to give it a even flatter profile( lowering it ~1" more!!), I can say I've ridden 600 miles in a day w/o cramps and still was able to walk normally at the end!unk:
The only other thing I changed was the stock handlebars to drag bars. The handlebars would have pulled my upper body slightly forward. :confused2::confused2:
