Re: flipped bars

bleed your brakes

you probably let the master flip upside down and it probably let air into the lines

Re: flipped bars

Anybody have a pic of this? I was thinking about doing it too. Do you have to do any windscreen mods so it don't hit?

Re: flipped bars

is it just me or is the front brake low on the handle bar? I might be wrong and I just need to mess with mine
