Phadreus, Did you notice the change in cornering with the lower bar? that's one of the first thing i noticed w/ my lower bar, the turning in and out of twisties felt easier and a bit quicker to execute w/ the change in body position
I did notice handling to be a bit sharper. I suspected it was do to a little more weight biased towards the front end, but not certain of that. Feels more confident to me during corner entrance, more planted if you will. I like it!
I'm going to tinker with the Cables again tonight, see if I can relieve some tension on them some. The added resistance is quite subtle, so there isn't much of an issue to resolve at this point.
Something else that surprised me, I haven't installed any Bar Ends yet. I expected to notice more vibrations, but nothing that I can perceive. Smooth as silk so far, so I'm no longer concerned about installing some bar weights like Honda provides from the factory. I have simple Bar Ends to install, but they are more for aesthetic purposes now than functional.

Also, the resistance could be coming from the throttle cylinder (perhaps the bar-end weight is overtightened etc), or from the new grip pressing to tightly against the switch cluster. I'm not saying you are wrong, just tinker some moreHi ya Tod,

I double checked the items you suggested, good thoughts. All were fine, not causing any issues. I'm going to look at where the Cables enter around the Headlight and make sure there are no issues there next. Tinker shall solve this minor issue.
