Captain Scarlet Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Its a bit of a open question mate, everyone has their own preferences, only way to find out how it rides is for you to try one. If you can't try one, try find a bike with a similar geo or set-up to how yours will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I know two guys that have them(both mod), they both run monty 221 ti risers on them and i found, if you run the bars with all the rise going upwards the bike feels great but if you run the bars facing forwards(I mean right the way forward, so the rise is facing straight forward) the bike feels absolute shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By having the bars forward you have a lower front end which is further way but with them right up you have a higher front end which is closer, this is not very noticeable with flat bars but when you have monty 221 ti bars you can feel a very noticeable difference.

georgieporgie Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have the 07, and if the geo hasnt changed its mint I have rage bars, and have used monty ones and i cant ride flat bars on my gu because it needs quite a front end imo.
