Message: [QUOTE="kiwijohn, post: 1063807, member: 57792"] Moving the bars forward or back will also change YOUR centre of gravity on the bike so it will affect handling in some situations. Just imagine more weight onthe forks (with bars forward) coming into a corner and you 'll get a steeper head angle, and quicker turn in, but it will aslo mean the forks will be working harder and will partially unweight the rear end, making it ride (slightly) higher.... opposite if the bars are to far back. Some bikes are sensitive to this, others aren't... one of the magazines did a piece on it.... sorry can;t remember which one!!!!! duh... [/QUOTE]
