dan williams Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Ok probably an odd question but… There’s three offset positions for the factory bar clamps. Mine have been set in the middle but I’m finding my weight is getting too far forward. Rolling the stock bars forward helps (yes it’s counter intuitive) but the sweep of the bars puts my wrists in a slightly strained position. Do any of you use the forward offset position and if so how do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelieman14 Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Although the Factory Top Triple clamp has 3 location positions for the handlebar clamps, I noticed that those clamps (as well as V-Mar clamps) are "offset" from center, so there are also more options; such as turning around the clamps and using the forward-most location to get a smaller change. I'm still using the center mounting option; though I did easily go over the bars last Saturday at a competition when descending off a rock into another rock and stuffing front wheel!

dan williams Posted September 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Rode some today with the clamps forward and it felt pretty good. Took a little while to get the turning recalibrated.👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyt Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Foot pegs in rear position with bars in original location you mentioned tried first ? Open up the riding cockpit ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted September 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Hi Billy, Yeah opening up the cockpit was what I had in mind. Haven’t moved footpegs. It’s a thought but just haven’t got that far into it. Moving the bars was cheap and easy to start with. I remember Ryan used to sell platform pegs that I liked because it forced me to foot back further but I haven’t seen them for many years. But you know me. I do enjoy tinkering.

billyt Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Hi Dan.... Mount S3 pegs on Beta and play with moving them back and forth. Spilt the ergonomics between bars and pegs to get the best personal settings. Less impact on front steering and rear traction. Tune to taste 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
