LSL handlebars

[556ALPHA]

I am considering adding the LSL kit but have a couple questions.  When changing out the brake line, do the brakes need to be bled and if so how do you guys do this w/o a pump?  Secondly I recently purchased a Throttlemeister for the C14 and wanted to know if this is compatible somehow?

Yes you need to bleed the brakes and you can do it with a wrench and a piece of clear hose nothing else required. There are tons of you tube videos on bleeding brakes you can watch. I happen to have a vacuum pump that makes the job real quick. Throttlemeister will probably have an adapter that will allow you to use it with the hollow bars. This is from their site:
Q:  Will the Throttlemeister work with other after-market bars?
A:  Yes, we fit all kinds after-market bars: Cycle Cat, Converta bars, Speigler, Flanders, and others. If you have after-market bars please contact us to see what will fit your bars.

Thanks, I appreciate the info.  I NEED the risers, however after installing the wedges I feel uneasy cornering with my passenger on board.  It may be an isolated riding experience so after we take another day trip I will have a better idea.  I just lacked confidence when cornering and have not made any other changes.

The bars that come with the LSL are hollow end bars, I took a hex nut, then using a glue glued it into the end of the bars and was able to use my Tmeister that way.

The LSL bars didn't work too well for me. They were an improvement over stock, but not that much different than having risers installed. Going to try the Helibars kit next. Winter project.

Anyone on the fence thinking about the LSL bars? There awesome!! I just went for my first ride today with the LSL set up and they feel great!
My 2 Cents. 

Glad to hear that you like the LSL kit and the bike is out and about finally.
