For those of you doing no-handers

Started trying them for the first time yesterday. So far no throttle hands i can go forever, I can take both hands off the bars and stick them on the nose of the quad and go for a long time like that as well. Once I take both hands off of anything on the quad I seem to lose my balance. I had one go about 10 ft this afternoon but thats it. Any recomendations on leaning more forward, more towards the back? Just wondering what people prefer. Also, who's got aftermarket bars on their quad and pro's and cons of them. Thanks

Your using a Z 400 right? In that case.....Ask Phear, he can roll them on my Z for about 50-60 feet. I can do em for about 2 feet (on a good day)

Yeah, i pretty much got them figured out this morning, i just turned the idle up a hair more and leaned a little bit more forward, i'd say i'm doing at least 40-50 ft now, well until the po po showed up and gave me a ticket for riding on the street. Oh well, just have to find a different place to practice again.
