Finally on my CB500 - Few basic mods to improve comfort

Hey everyone!

Finally now riding my 1996 after completing my DAS course and really enjoying it.

I am using it for the daily commute, and have noticed a couple of areas I would like to improve the bike.

Firstly I am looking to add a basic screen - Are the Puig universal ones suitable or is there a better fit?

Second, I am 6'3 and have been told I look a bit cramped in the leg area. I must admit I feel cramped too, so was looking to start by lowering the pegs. Is the a kit for the CB500? I can produce my own, but looking for a quick fix. I may even try adding some foam to the seat.

Cheers,

Ed

Thanks Beresford - That looks like an option. Do they noticeably push your foot out further away from the bike? And are they specific to a particular bike or universal?

You can add some foam to the seat and improve confort without reducing lean angle limit. I find the pegs quite low already

Hello!

Do you mean this windscreen:

If so, I have one and it helps, but only a bit. Plus I am a bit shorter than you (I'm 5'8" tall), so there is less of me to stick over the top

The screen *fits* fine...

Thanks everyone. 

Yeah thats the type of screen I am considering  I will keep an eye out for a second hand one and give it a go, but won't expect too much.
