I’ve got to say it looks good, but what about taking advantage of all the adjustments ?

Some are easy by yourself clutch and brake levers, quickly tested and adjusted.
The others, footpegs, foot brake, gear change. Handle bars.

BUT

What about the best or individual setting for the person?

Not only for what your wearing, but also the the changes you should consider for road and off road riding (standing on the pegs more of the time)

Explaining the difference that angle changes could make between 0 and 10 degrees for example. Where you need the foot brake to engage when you standing?

I got none is that my fault , did you get a full-low down?

Like to learn from other’s experiences and adjustments....
 
Ive seen the one in Aberdeen thats fitted with the full Billet pack, its very nice. However i wouldnt pay over 2k for what in the real world will be tarnished in no time flat. Im not a fan im afraid.
 
Can understand your view , but if you wanted the adjustable bits on the bike individually it soon adds up and the pack doesn’t look so bad
 
You can buy the full set of levers, fully adjustable (foot and hand levers) for about 400£ on ebay, or even half of that if you go China way ;)
 
Forgot the foot pegs, but are they the same ? The point of the post is not the price, but how to get the most out of the adjustability of them :beer:
 
Looks lovely does the billet pack, if your happy to pay the extra i would say go for it.
with it been alot of anodizing be carefull on what cleaning products you apply though, had issues in the past with TFR etc on anodized bits
 
Is it me but asking how best to adjust levers and pegs etc when no one who will contribute ( myself included ) is you

Adjust as is needed or to suit

FWIW i went out with a few tools and kept making adjustments every 5 miles or so until i was happy

They are not difficult to adjust
 
It’s my fault redrick , I will make the question clearer.

When off road and your main position will be standing, the hand position on the bars is different and the access to the controls is different, it’s important to be in a natural standing position. With 2 finger access to clutch and near probably parallel level between pegs and rear brake pedal for control too.

The ability to move the body to induce the front to lift with throttle / clutch control is a basic need off-roading

These position are not the same as if you riding predominately on the road

My question as to now having a bike that can do both, how were riders making the adjustments or does anyone bother?
 
My answer, Although more detailed, ultimately remains the same

The pegs, bars and levers etc, particularly the bling ones you have, are easily adjusted with just a couple of tools that fit in your pocket.

Go out and ride and keep stopping and adjusting until you are comfortable and happy with the set up that best meets your individual requirements
 
Well it has a split personality
Road Queen - long distance tourer
Off Road King - more challenging places to go

Some of its clothing will change in each personality

But this what the bikes are built for on and off road “GS”
 
Loving my billet pack.
