    Picked up a Street Cup and will be converting to some regular style handlebars soon. Only ridden a couple hundred miles in the mountains, so far, so good.

    Nice bike can't you just change the angle on the bars that are already fitted just a few bolts to loosen and spin them round with the switch gear as well save money and if ever the bike gets sold on original still there ;)

    Thanks for all the welcome wishes! @MarkTGR9, I’ve raised them up as far as the brake line allows, may look into shimming up the gauges some which might give me some more room. We’ll see. Flipping the bars is an option but not sure I’d like it. Plenty of time to play with it. I’ve got a few others to ride also.

    Welcome from NJ! I like the style of the bike! More-comfortable handlebars seem like a good idea, though. I just spent a week camping near Holston Lake near the intersection of VA, TN and NC. Great riding roads in the area, especially The Snake and other named rides. I carry the bike (2013 Trophy SE) and tow a camper, so I avoid the long ride to the area. Hopefully, you get some time to check out the other end of your state!
