    Greetings all,

    I tried to adjust my handlebars today, and was unhappy with the result. Looking for some tips. I am 5'8" and with my butt all the way back so the seat feels right, I am reaching forward a little more than is quite comfortable.

    I started by rotating the uprights one notch back, which moved the hand grip almost exactly where I wanted it. However, it left the angle of the hand grip too steep, so operating the throttle felt awkward.

    The second adjustment was not so easy. I removed the pinch bolt and the holding bolt and washer, but the splined bar would not break free with just a little encouragement. However, it seemed to be just an up and down adjustment and would not allow the hand grips to actually rotate back outward like I had hoped.

    So, am I missing an adjustment, or is this just how the bike is? Can I get just the end bar with a different angle in it? Chacal?

    Thanks all!

    as far east as you can get in michigan 43.027407,
    what year is your seca?

    my 750RJ has a solid plain jane handlebar with no adjustment on it...

    are there articulated bars available for secas?
