So I drove around with my clubman bars for two days.  I realized they were crap in the first five minutes, but I took the rest of the time to really drive the point home.  Not... comfortable... at all.  Someone on the wiki claims the riding position is "similar to clipons."  Holy crap no.

Anyway, so I put on a superbike bar last night, and when I was done, my engine wouldn't start.

Oh crap.  I broke something.  I checked the clutch switch, I checked the bike was in neutral.  (No dashboard lights yet, so I had to check by rolling the bike, like they taught us in MSF.)  I took everything apart to make sure I didn't pinch any wires.  But everything looked right.

I finally realized I could start the engine with the sidestand up.  Uhh??  I must have broken the neutral switch.  I shifted it down to first and back up to neutral several times before I realized that after shifting down, I was able to shift down one more time.  Ughhh!!  Anyway, it works now and I had to put everything back together again.  My wife was already sleeping when I finally got done.

It rained all day, so I don't know how much better the superbike bars are.  Hopefully tomorrow.

Test ride it to my house you elusive bugger

You probably want me to bring a metric die set too? 

Oh crap, I was in my garage last night and forgot to check. 

  Thats ok I guess my dad found one...hopefully my bike will go back together this weekend 

You can start a Gs with the sidestand on  , it wont engage gear tho ,
