g'day,
if you bothered to read my previous posts, you would see that my reasoning goes beyond the asthetics of what the bike looks like. It is 'wrong, wrong, wrong!.....but he can do whatever he wants, it's his bike, i couldn't care less quite frankly, but the guy posted a thread called 'optimum handle bar angle?'....that's not what he's got!......that's all my $0.02...if you don't agree don't do it!...pretty simple really....& as far as ......
