Double negative?

No... I'm not cool like that.

Would adjustable levers help your carpal tunnel issue?

not sure who it is with said issue but - one thing most people never do is adjust the rotation of the levers around the clipons/bars. When you rest your finger tips on the levers it should be a straight line from your shoulder to your finger tips. Spinning the levers around the clipons often helps a ton.
(in case it hasn't been done)

glad you're ok - 2.5 years is a long time for a first fall!

Probably... and that's what I'm thinking. The brake is adjustable but the clutch isn't. At the least I can replace the shifter and then make a decision about what to do about levers.
edit: Sounds like Steve may have a good point there. I think a lot of my problem is my clutch wrist is tilted up a little bit when I'm using the clutch (kinda like using a keyboard). Rotating it down a little bit may alleviate the problem.
Looks like Oneida actually has the shifter level a bit cheaper.

we were going to stop by last night but we went to TWT instead. yes it runs............................... STFU asshat!

I think I'm okay with the bar end since the paint had already been rubbed off by my old garage wall. I just went ahead and ordered the lever since I was paying the $10 in shipping for the shifter. All in all, not bad.

Good thing you weren't hurt amigo, hopefully you'll wear your helmet and shit next time in case things don't turn out as fortunate!

Got the parts Tuesday but didn't have an 8mm hex to take the footpeg and shifter off the rear set. I refused to buy an entire set of hex wrenches I pretty much already had for a single 8mm so it took me four stores to find what I needed. Picked it up today and finally got everything back together. Aside from a few scuffs she's as good as new.
- Mike - 05-13-2007
hurray for being a hard-head and spending more in gas than a full set would have cost!
- .paul - 05-14-2007
I am sure he calculated the cost before committing to finding this single 8mm hex.

I was out running errands on those days anyway so I probably only went 5 miles (75 cents) outta my way. Add to that the fact that I really wanted a ratchet, not those retarded L-shaped ones, and the price bumped up to $25 for a set. It was a pretty easy choice.

i'm not.

I dumped it last night in the gravel drive way. Something about having the bars turned, stopping, and not being able to touch the ground... I'll work on that
- Mike - 05-15-2007
had you previously never been down?
- .paul - 05-15-2007
tip overs do not count!
- Kaan - 05-15-2007
i did it once in a parking lot too... fighting the carbs that were acting up and pulling into a parking place it just cut out on me and down we went...
i ahve two scratches on the fairing and on the mirror... so it counts!
- HAULN-SS - 05-15-2007
heh. sucks. I dropped my moms bike one time, no damage though. Was backing into a parking spot so I wouldnt be facing downhill when I left. Cut it a little too sharp trying to center it so some toolbag wouldnt whip in the spot not seeing it...heh, sucks picking up a 700lb bike by yourself.
