Anyone got em? Anyone like em?
I was prepared to do some digging on the search function, decided to just make a new thread since I haven’t personally seen it discussed on here.
Basically, in an effort to be more comfortable on the CB (without a windscreen), I have found myself scooting way back on the seat and leaning into the wind. At 70 mph, butt back about as far as I can go before encroaching on the pillion section, I have found a really nice equilibrium. Very little pressure on my wrists as the wind is holding me up and I don’t feel like a sail sitting straight up in the stock position. Only problem is, now my feet feel like they’re on foward controls, which is badddd on my back. Real bad. Lately I have been hijacking the pillion pegs to mitigate this. Before you laugh, it actually works flawlessly. ( Assuming you’re cruising and don’t need to shift/brake). My feet are supporting my lower back, pushing me towards the bars instead of just hanging there like pieces of meat.
Anyway, I know rearsets are out there for this bike, just trying to get a reading on who uses them and any advice. Thanks so much.
Also before anyone suggests different bars, I am using the Type 2 bars and have no issues with them, they sit right where I want them. From the hips up, I’m all good. Hips down need revision.
