How accurate is the following description (picture included) of bar position for a trails bike; http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/818577 ... try8474270
After watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0z8o7OSde0 I'm a little confused at which part of the bar we are lining up with the fork angle.

Should give a good start point.
if your riding a modern bike, many folk start with the bars positioned vertical (when the bike is resting on its wheels i.e. not on a stand) and roll them forward or back as explained in the video
Hope this helps

Re: Handlebar position on trials motorcycle
Thanks paul, I watched the video again and totally missed out on the fact it said "hand grips" inline with the forks and not "bars"
I will be scoping out everyones bikes at Kiama!
