New pics since I got a hb.
Well, i got a hb put on. I'm starting to get a little used to it, it helped my confidence more than anything I think.
I really didn't need it but oh well, its on the bike so I'm gunna use it.
Tell me what you guys think.
I wasn't really able to use the hb too well with my spreaders. I have to clutch it up, then move my finger down to the hb. I'm kinda worried to try covering it and the clutch at the same time because then I'd only be holding myself in the spreader with 2 fingers.
Alright, don't laugh too hard at the vid. I realize I'm not ready for O's.

Yeah, i'm not even going to attempt anymore O's until I can hold idle better. That half assed attempt in the video was just spur of the moment.
I've only gotten to ride 3 times with the hb, but each time it feels better and better. Except it feels like I'm getting carpal tunnel in my left hand.

Re: New pics since I got a hb.
So when you start......you clutch it up, then move your finger down to the brake?? Thats what Im doing for the spreaders.
For everything else I can cover both from the begining. But the spreaders require me to have a better grip on the clip on so I don't slip back.

ull get to a point like with all things it will just click(spreaders) its all in the clutch up, once u get it to bp right away u can really focus on ur grips and ur clutch hb actions

Oh ya, my skill level has tripled since I got the bike. Its running good too.
My exhaust got ripped off a couple weeks back and it broke the rear set that it was welded too. I got it strapped on with zip ties and metal straps now. haha

You should try to O to the right. and slow it down before you go in to it. I just found it better for me to go right. I always do everything to the left like 360 so I thought that would be better but I did some to the right and it came easyer.
