Chip Beck Spec Low Handlebar/Mirrors Mod.

[Joola_imp]

My mirrors and bars came in this week and I'm hesitant to move forward on the installation. I'm concerned with some of the recent posts about steering performance. I purchased the 1" OEM lower seat so I'm wondering if that will help offset the steering performance expressed by others? Your advice is appreciated.

Hey Allen,
I installed the CB500F handlebar, and I switch back to the stock handlebar after riding for a few hours. In my opinion the bike looks a lot better with the CB500 bar, but I just did not feel right on the bike. The dynamics of the bike changed in a way that did not match the way I ride.

Same story for me.

Allen, remember, several members have done this mod and have no complaints. Like most things, I think it comes down your fit on the bike and personal preference. You won't know for sure until you try it out.
