I have a set myself. The 10mm lowered position seems like SFA but you can feel less pain in the legs at the end of the ride. In conjunction with a high seat and bar risers they are a good setup for tall riders.
My only gripes: I had to linish off some of my boot heel to get a good position on them (because of the width) and in the wet they are a little less grippy to stand on, especially when the grub screws are worn down.

which comes with a bike mount, car mount and lots of other bits. Like the OP I’m not up with the times, never had one myself. Is it personal preference (touch screen Vs traditional button unit) or is there black and white chalk and cheese differences?
Nice one Teza, it’s always the way isn’t it. Kind of like crossing creeks and lifting your boots up high so you don’t get wet, only to ditch it in the drink and end up soaked.
I believe it’s a KTM500.
Congratulations Murph, a well deserved upgrade. Will take a few rides for you to get cozy. Try a tooth higher on the front to see if the gearing change actually works for you? As others have said try playing with the wire before you buy a switch. I have a GasGas one on mine and I use it when it’s muddy wet and I’m rooted (about hr 6 of 7 on your rides).
Have fun eh!

Gee you guys make it sound like dirt bike nirvana everywhere up there. Someone is going to have to come up with an event to lure us southerners up there. More than 2 days too, have to make it worth our while. Welcome to OBT by the way.
