Riding while standing

I think I am going to try some ProTaper bars...

Forgot to mention those. I have them and they make a difference yes.

I installed a set of ProTaper ATV Hi bend bars this afternoon and it made a big difference.  They are the same bars that I have on my other bike.  I was amazed how much the stock bars do droop at the ends.  I was luck enought to be able to blow off the stock grip on the LH side, so I didn't have to replace grips either.  I will have to figure out a way to use the nice brushed aluminum end caps as the nut portion seems to be tacked/welded into the stock bars.

Can anyone give me a quick how-to on replacing a bulb in the dash.  The light bulb in my speedo is burnt out.  Before I tear the bike apart, I thought I'd better ask as there is usually an easier way than what I come up with.

pull off the front fairing and they are right there on the bottom of speedo
I bet it's the little one that lights up the bottom left side of the speedo, they burn out quite frequently .

Thanks for the info Mustang.  It took longer to go buy the new bulb than it did to change it.  I also changed the oil this morning, slowly getting the bike ready for hibernation.  I might get 1 more week of riding in, if I am lucky.  I want to flush the brakes & clutch systems out and put some new fluid in there, just not sure if I will do it now or in the spring beofre I start riding.
