BruceWayne911 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hey everyone I'm looking to make my MT-07 a little more sporty. Like sport touring comfort. Im 5'8 does anyone have handlebars/rear set recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Jim Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I find my MT-07 very comfortable in a sport-touring way. Do you find the handlebar too high? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceWayne911 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 No I actually like the riding position but I often like to ride on the highway and after a few hours the wind beats me up at 100mph+(I know its speeding but I like to open it up sometimes). The plan is to get the Puig touring windscreen and upgrade the handlebars and rearsets to a sport touring position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Jim Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I'm confused because you said you like the riding position, but want a more sport-touring position. Also I think the MT-07 has a very sport-touring riding position already. I played with various windscreens with my Moto Guzzi a few years ago. I started out with a tall one, but the wind broke right about mid-helmet level, and I couldn't take the roaring noise that created. I cut it down so the wind broke at my mid-torso, and it was OK, but really didn't accomplish much at that point so I took it off. What I learned was that for me, an effective windscreen would have to make the air break over my head, so it would have to be very tall, like on a police bike. I don't think I'd like that any better then no windscreen. Edited March 20, 2022 by Triple Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scat2me Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I have a few suggestions Corbin Gunfighter seat, Pro Taper Evo Adventure Handlebars 1-1/8", Pro Taper 7/8" To 1 1/8" Universal Handlebar riser, Odi Rouge Dual-Ply Off-Road/Dirt Bike Motorcycle Hand Grips - Black/Black/Size 130mm, and a good wind screen. I First used a Puig Naked New Generation Windscreen Yamaha. I switched it to a Madstad this year. I'm 5'10 an 150lbs. This setup makes the bike much more comfortable for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Corbin seat worth $600? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scat2me Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) It was to me. Any future bike will have a Corbin seat. I don't care what a bike sounds like. Some people pay a lot of money for the sound. I prefer to be comfortable. To each his own. Edited March 20, 2022 by scat2me Spelling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure... our butts are not all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
