No, it would certainly activate the ABS in standard. Is this typical for modern abs systems? All of the other bikes I've had were much firmer, but they were also older non-abs brakes that definitely didn't work as well. I estimate I'm able to stop from 60mph moderately quickly in about 125ft...

I posted this over on the Indianmotorcycles.net forum, thought I'd put it up over here as well: Fellow Raximo users: do you find that the brake feel is softer with the Raximo compared to stock? It has always felt this way since I changed it... I assumed at the time that it was a poor bleed...

Excellent find. Protaper does make a 108mm rise bar in the Curve line, so that seems promising.

Sure. That's what I'll do if it seems like the as-designed dimensions can't be found on a drawing somewhere. It's actually kinda tough to get an accurate measurement on a bar like that. So i wanted to ask around before i went to the effort. But an approximate +/-5mm measurement is better than...

Yes. The stock bar dimensions are what I'm after... can't seem to find them. Not sure if the stock FTR bar is available from Protaper aftermarket, so not sure they are published.

I hear that. Let us know your experience when you do. Maybe I'll get the 006... We can all compare notes then!

Ah, sorry. Should have been clearer. I know it's an 1-1/8, i meant the rise, reach, height dims. Trying to gauge how much of a drop i want. But thanks for confirming the diameters.

@edgelett Did you ever install lower bars? If so, what did you pick? I am trying to decide what to do between the 006, 009, or 011. Maybe the Protapers mentioned above. Does anyone know what the dimensions of the stock bar are? Can't seem to find them. @ferraiolo1 shows them next to each other...

I also have found the constant speed riding to be rough, but usually in the lower to low-mid rpm range. This has basically been my experience too. The bike is very jerky trying to maintain steady throttle at low speed in traffic. Engine braking also feels like a very heavy "on-off" switch on...
