Jim, do you have a standard or ABS model ?
I think that risers are extremely popular for a lot of bikes. But if the bike came with higher bars, what would the people who like their bars lower do? There are no bar lowerers. Having the stock height be at the low end of customer preferences, gives us all the max options.
If that's the case it would have been nice if the mothership had given us a little more clutch and brake cable length.
And pass up a chance to charge you quadruple what the replacement parts are worth to extend those cables?
And don't forget that an extra millimeter here and a millimeter there adds up to some serious yen when when you make a couple hundred thousand cables...
ABSOLUTELY!! That's part of what sank the American car industry. The bean counters realized that if they were building 5 or 6 million cars a year and could save even PENNIES a car, it would make a real difference. That is the real reason that everything was switched from 6 volt to 12 volt. The higher voltage could power the same things with very much smaller wiring. The savings in copper alone was in the $MILLIONS$. A side benefit was a slight reduction in weight, but that was just a lucky plus.And don't forget that an extra millimeter here and a millimeter there adds up to some serious yen when when you make a couple hundred thousand cables...
Now you tell me... BTW you need to update your signature...
Done. So tell me how you got five lines in your signature? Mine won't let me save with more than four lines, and it counts the states map as one of the lines.Now you tell me... BTW you need to update your signature...
I just added another six text lines playing around with mine... I suspect it has to do with the total space allocated for a signature and your two maps got you.... Try deleting one map and then add text... Just don't save your signature, only use preview, while the map is "deleted"...
