Fitted a set of Norman Hyde M Bars about 8 weeks ago and at the time it felt like the best £40 I'd spent on my Bonnie since I bought her.
Loved the look, loved the new riding position, felt more in touch with the front end and certainly made me more aggressive through the corners which I was looking for.
So now for the bad news. 8 weeks later and my neck and shoulders are a wreck. A 50 mile ride is about my limit due to the pain. I have to own up to having a slightly dodgy shoulder before I fitted the bars, but now I can't sleep after just an hours riding.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, but now it's back to stock I'm afraid.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
