just your riding position. I think most people have done exactly that.

Nope I have moved mine around a couple timmes. Its all good, just make sure to check your hand control positioning afterward. I had rotate the hand controls up so I could get at the front brake and clutch, as well as change mirror positioning.

I pushed mine forward as you can see in this picture, oops, forgot to tell you that I change the apes for 18" ones. I like the riding position.
