My bars are now moved forward and I added a lift kit. She's a lot more comfortable for my 6ft 190lb *** now.
I can lean all the way up tell my chin almost touches the handle bars, and that makes the bike at damn near 12 o clock. But if I lean back, the bikes barley in the air and I think it looks kinda pud.
Just my opinion. I still suck *** with my legs of the pegs, but i'l keep practicing.
I wanna build a rear brake + left rear peg soon.. Gotta quit working on my big bike to get some time to work on my fiddy

my suggestion is to learn your throttle and it's response first...
next, make sure you have good rear brake control...
once you have those down, get going slowly in 1st or 2nd gear and then compress the front end (push down slightly/quickly) just before you crank the throttle/lean back/cover the rear brake...
the rebound from the front springs combined with the throttle/you leaning back should be enough to get the front wheel up

dont even practice with your feet dangling... its stupid and makes it harder to transfer to ridin with feet on pegs...
practice with your feet on the pegs and youll learn that way
