Re: MXS Twitter
I just got given these because the low bend puts your arms in a better position which gives you more control and reduces arm pump.

Re: MXS Twitter
I can't stand aftermarket levers. I don't know what it is about them. I like stockers the best. Especially these KTM ones, the bend on them is perfect for my hands it feels. The YZ's weren't bad either, but those levers were made of butter it seemed.
Re: MXS Twitter
Get those big handguards from the KTM Hard Parts catalog. They are longer than the lever, so they wrap around the lever and protect it from bending while keeping your grips clean at the same time. They also mount under some of the levers instead of just clamping around the bar, so they move with the levers and stay put, unless you crash. You just wouldn't understand unless you ran them.
Scotts steering stabilizers work wonders while looking trick, too.

Re: MXS Twitter
I can't stand the look of those hand guards either. They are just to big and bulky. I'd get a steering damper/stabilizer, but everything costs money. Having 5 bikes and 2 scooters on the go all the time costs a fortune to maintain. I can live without a steering damper until I can pay for one myself. I was thinking about getting a Honda Stabilizer off ebay, rebuilding it, and getting the Ride engineering adapter bracket. That way it won't cost to much, and it will be hidden. But like I said I have to wait until I can afford it myself. Since racing season is starting up now too, traveling is going to cost a fortune. Towing the trailer 4+ hours to races every 2nd weekend is a big expense.

Loving life right now. Got a t3i ordered and on the way, my t3 is shipping to amazon for money next week, and I'm getting a ride mic, slide, and lens hood for it soon. Shooting little promo videos for fiber optics products isn't the end of it. Just wait till you guys see what me and Jeff have cooking up for regionals ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: MXS Twitter
Ktm I've got the same hand guards as you. They really work well when I crash because they protect the levers and stop my hands getting cold but they look awful.

From what I'm told, the Honda stabilizers are really sub-par and just don't do the job.Ballsfalsky wrote:I can't stand the look of those hand guards either. They are just to big and bulky.

Like I said, you just wouldn't understand unless you had the handguards.

Re: MXS Twitter
When dirt rider did the original tests when they first came out, they said it had to be turned all the way up to even be noticed at all. I dont think they even mention it in the tests since.KTM57 wrote:From what I'm told, the Honda stabilizers are really sub-par and just don't do the job.

Re: MXS Twitter
I have freakishly long fingers so the adjustability of the V1's was really nice for me. I just set them as far out as I felt like they could go without losing the bolt and they were perfect. They don't have to come anywhere near the bar to do their jobs.Ballsfalsky wrote:I can't stand aftermarket levers. I don't know what it is about them. I like stockers the best.
