Default RE: 99 1200 Custom Controls - Adjustment

Mystery solved. The pipe he put on in about '99 hada flaw that year such that the bottom of the brake lever hits it if the brake was installed at a lower angle. Only solution is really to replace the pipe.

BUT, I bought it today and rode it home and think I am already used to it. It sounds so good I would hate to have to replace it.

AND, I had a huge smile on my face on my 25 mile ride home and still do! Awesome. Neighbors are jealous and I am hooked...can't wait to ride again.

Thanks forthe help.
