Advice you want is it?
Consider a bank loan or an overdraft, you'll need it.
Once you start with the modding, then you're hooked matey.
Welcome to the madhouse Sean...you'll understand what i mean real soon...or even sooner!

i know what you mean, i also have a nc30 which ive had for 10 years, which has basically been an open cheque book! its in a glass case now ha ha! i really dont want to go to the same extremes with the duke as its more my 'used' bike, i hust want to make it a bit more suited to me ie the bars and possibly a evs slipper clutch, i just want it to be a bit less brutal!

I think a few people get hurty hands.
I found mainly in the curve between you thumb and first finger.
I kept having to stop and was nearly in tears.
Never ever had that with a bike before.

I had trouble but a change of levers and oberon and I hurt less now.
Adjustable levers help and plenty of blingers to choose from.

Me I just got simple black cheepy adjustable ones match the bike.
But will upgrade to some blingin ones soon as get some more penny's.
I went back to standard bars as well as someone fitted renthal motorcross to mine and I did not like them.
Some pop risers on to make them more comfy.
But baffles me as well as have always had naked bikes and never a sore hand with one must be a monster thing.

Advise... ok ... DO NOT ... I repeat DO NOT look at the Carbon fibre.... for it is evil and sucks away at your wallet and leaves you with two brass farthings.
Then you find yourself buying carbon loo seats and all sorts

Thanks for that cat, don't worry a the bikes already got enough carbon and b I don't really like it that much anyway! I'm hoping these rizoma bars do the trick, as the pain is exactly how you describe it, funnily enough I moved away from the plastic fantastic bikes (I had a 1000rr previously) for more comfort ha ha, seems to have bit me on the a#s!!! I will also look at some levers, really impressed with the pazzos I have on the nc, so will look at those, hang on there's a nick at the door, my bars have arrived!!! I this works
