Okay, I've not asked a daft question for a while, so here goes.

I'm currently in the middle of the winter rebuild and last night was sat pondering how to get more feeling from the front end. (You may have noticed, I seem to lose the front every now and again !) and noticed a pair of straight bars laying in the corner of the garage.

So after sitting on the bike, holding the bars in place with some hastily applied tape and ties, I liked the seating position and the leverage available from the wide bars.

So, the question is -

Has anyone done the streetfighter approach, as in Moto X bars on a 620 Monster ?

I appreciate it may take me further away from the front end or alter a few ergonomics (is that the right word ?)

But I'd appreciate anyones thoughts or experiences if its been done or discounted for any reason please.

I think a pair of risers would probably do it, but don't want to do it, if it makes things worse, exaggerates the vagueness of the front.

I may well throw them on and book a cheap track day to see the results. (Help)
