    I noticed that I could rotate the handlebar clamps on my speed twin giving me a little extra reach,
    Can any one see this being a problem please or has anyone else tried it?
    Chars.

    Hey it's your bike and if it feels better why not? Can't see any reason why not, as long asthe cables are not stretched. I have moved mine a few times to try and get the best position.

    Thanks for that,
    My thought process was along the lines of is it safe more than anything,
    I am kind of surprised that Triumph don’t mention that it’s possible as it may benefit taller riders, yamaha do on the tracer gt.
    Was as much intrigued to see if anyone else had considered it.

    Rotating bar doesn't hurt if it helps you.

    Just be careful when you go up/down that your handle bar can still do full lock turn left/right as well as no additional stress to the wires/cables.

    but usually a few degree up & down is okay.
