Hey all, I was trying to search the archives, but I can't find them. Anyhow, I'm 6'2", and after riding my Honda GL500 all week, I get back on the TW200, and I seriously need to do something about both the handlebars and the mirrors. There were posts on both handlebar risers, and something that lifts the mirrors up and over a couple of inches. I can get the handlebar risers on eBay, unless there is a better place to get them, but for the life of me, I can't find those things for the mirrors. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Also, I think I need to upgrade the sprockets on the TW so that first gear isn't so worthless on the street, but I know there are posts galore about gear sizes and all.

Thanks all,

Dan

It's not a whole lot taller but the Stearns/Wal-Mart pad was a great addition for me. Changing to 15 in the front is almost the same as putting a 47 on the back, if I remember correctly. (calculator link) In either case, WAY better for street riding and no chain mod required.

edited to add: I found a cached thread where these EMGO mirrors were recommended.
