Pro Taper bar change

[snakebitten]

I located the bars back about the same amount that I reduced the sweep. And raising them negated some of that too.

But unlike most, it seems, I crowd the tank anyways. Just seems natural to me. Kind of a dirt bike posture.

When 2-up, I force myself back some so the wife doesn't come off her perch to get up against me.

It's a carbon tank protector http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-Genuine-Carbon-Tank-Pad-Shield-Protector-YAMAHA-XTZ1200-Super-Tenere-/261365934102?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3cda9fa816

It's nice quality, very thin and light and amazingly tough. Attaches to the tank with silicone gel adhesive strips.

Thanks for the info. It would be even better if they could make one that covers also the sides of the tank...
