PC vs. Concours comparison
Written by wynndungey on 6/22/2012 at 06:41 pm

My own thoughts about this is that the body has an easier time adapting to the
forward lean than the backward cruiser slouch. (Back muscles vs deltoids.)
That was what I got from the previous owner of a GT750 that I bought. It had
drag bars on it and he had a bad back. (No rise from the clamps.)

PC, how do you deal with the forward position of the ST? Or is that easily
modified?
