So we stop for a coffe and said rider comes over to my bike, looking around then says, "I know you just met me but I've always wanted to ride one of these, would you like to swap?"
I spat out my coffee.
No really, I did!
So after 15 years of riding I finally rode a Duc and it was amazing. The thing pulled like a train and was planted no matter where I put it. Very responsive and confidence inspiring. A great day.
Anyway, now to the question. The bike had all it's controls lowered quite a bit. The brake and shifter pedals were really low and I realized that I don't like where they are on the TLS so when I got home I started playing.
The brake pedal can only be lowered so far before the bolt bottoms out but considering I rarely use the rear it's not a problem. The gear shifter is as far as it will go without rotating the actual linkage, I'll do that tomorrow. The front brake lever is now rotated right down. The problem is the clutch lever. The clutch safety switch limits the travel of the lever so that it can barely be lowered. Has anyone found a way around this? Right now the switch connector is right up against the clipon. What about removing the switch and just splicing the wire?
Sorry for the long post, had to tell about the Duc!
