reversing the handlebars

[adventuredon]

Hi all, I know that the 2010 hexhead handlebars have 2 different size E Torx bolts. 2 x M10 and 2 x M8. I also know that the handlebar clamp can be reversed to improve reach. What I don't know is which way increases the reach. I have looked but just can't work it out without actually changing them around. IYSWIM. Currently I have the M8 bolts (smaller ones) with the gap closest to the rider when seated which I think is the factory way and the normal way. Is this the normal position /or the closer option?

If anyone did turn them around, any feedback?

Please tell me this is a wind up?

Don, If you honestly can't look at it and see which way around it has to be to increase or decrease the reach, put down the tools

Plus one. But to help you out. Big bolts at front = short reach. Big bolts at back gives about 20mm longer reach. Please don't ask what the torque settings are.

Ha de ha. Mine are already turned around for short reach then. I have the torque values and obviously won't need them now.. Cheers though
