Actually, I rotated them down/back a bit. This leveled the bars and put my wrists in a more favorable position.

Feedback on the DD speedo. I am now using the optional inverted screen setting as it was a bit dim in direct sunlight. This happens automatically when the sensor sees bright light. This is separate from the nighttime auto dimming. Most settings are getting feedback from the CANBUS system. Super easy to set up.

A technical question about the Fat Bob front forks.

Could someone tell me the front fork spacing, i.e. the width between the centreline of each forkleg.

Would be much appreciated.
