hey ive been tryin to learn the bp on and off for 2 months...im not to bad at it....but my hands are farking killing me.....my prob is that im 6'4 235 and when i get the bike up to the bp im either leaning to far back or if i try to get close to the bike it puts way to much weight to my hands....also when i get close i cant really control it cause my arms ar so bent its crazy...im thinking about putting a rear peg alil futher back so maybe that will help???????
anyone got any input....heres a pic beleive it or not right there im in idle but does it look like im to far back or what...ill try to find a pic of one with me closer to the bike so you can see how crazy it looks on my arms..

havok

hopefully by morn someone will leave me some good input....

Towlieee

get some aftermarket clip-ons and turn them out

or get dirt bike bars..

Im still learning, and with stock clip-ons on my f4i it killed my arms..

Now I got dirt bike bars with tag risers and its great.. WAy less fatigue.. But it still makes my arms sore doing wheelie after wheelie


edit: also it looks like your doing both feet on the front pegs from the pic??? If so do staggards.....
And if your not doing bothg legs on the front peg, then it l;ooks like your left leg is bent all weird... Straighten the left leg out and use it to stand on, and just have your right leg up there for the brake. It looks as if your standing on your right leg, and just having your left leg for stability

you should see my hands from the past 2 days theirs blisters all the way across on both...couldnt even grab my girls *******..


i was thinking bout the fi clipons but if i turn them out i dont think there will any room with the rhb and ****???esp with full fairing

havok

yea im staggerd in the pic...when i do straighting my back leg i get really close to the bike..like my junk on the tank and then my arms get all jamed up..and have a had time controling it that way..its weird

old man roger

wow it realy looks like you have your left leg on the front peg...

but if it is on the passenger peg then yea towlieee is right on point ,if you straighten out your left leg then you won't be pulling so hard on the clip ons and your hands won't hurt and not to sound like a smart *** but don't stick your *** out so far that will keep you from feeling like your to close to the bike

MR. RYAN SMITH

Less Bend At The Waist, See If You Can Stand Tall Enough To Grab The Upper. Train Yourself To Balance Without Having All The Weight On Your Hands, It Will Help With Learining No Handers And Will Help Body Position.

try sticking your foot in the bar, its tough to get used to, but its opened up tons of tricks for me, like no throttle hand and stairmaster up to seatstander, and before my gixxer kicked the bucket i was kindof doing some wide slow circles

get a little closer to the bike as few ppl said, it will help some, but the cruel truth - stunting involves really good physical condition...

MikeM

just do it every other day until your arms and hands are conditioned enough for it. Should take about a week.

Lockmaster

+1 its just like anything else. you gotta get used to it.

fatboystuntz

+2...im 6'6 about 285 and it hurt my hand for a few days when i first started...but get rid of them girlie hands and get use to hainvg calisuses cuz if u ride, they will never go away...

f4istunna

grind the tabs off your stock bars and turn em out, made mine feel way better and more control, still full fairing they rub on full turn but i dont mind it.

and like they said keep w/ it until your body gets used to it, its like fiddy *** goes away and never comes back after a week or so

When I started learning my hands were jacked. I "use" to power it up and the pulling on the bars is what did it. When I fist started clutchin it up the same thing was happening. When I started givin it more gas and less "pull" on the bars it helped my hands. Not sure if that will help you or not........there is still the prob you are having with posture but the quicker pull up will take a little pressure off your hands when bringing it up. After that you are on your own....thats as far as I got.....haha

havok

i dont have a prob with the physical part..ive been a working as a mover for 12 years...and thats a tough *** job...

havok

ive been trying to (as you say not stick my *** out so far) it works ok but when i do that im like on top of the bike..and then my arms get all crazy bent and it looks like a could bite the head light if i dont rock a helmet..

PAINTRIXX

in your case db bars are the way to go,you can mount themback on the clamp,&clear the upper with just a bit of trimming.but if you go with clipons do the vortex,i know some people that have them & wish they got the vortex instead.

havok

yea..i might do that..should i turn the out some??

cheater pegs are great for us fat people!! when i started to learn bp and **** i use to love my cheater peg....only use it for Circle combos now but i still love it!!!

sorry dont really have any good pics of it. but here is one where you can see i added another peg

havok

so it made it easier to control yer weight and angle on the bike..not so much stress on yer hands
