Default Hand grips

The hand grips on my I2 came installed backwards- they are wider on the leading edge than the trailing edge. I actually like it...It gives me a little wider bar to hang my hands on for a change of hand position.

Anybody else ride with the bars/hand grips flipped around?

Jim Wilcox does, he says it's easier on his wrists.

I think it is more comfortable that way. If you hold your hands in front of you look at them and then line the bars up with your palms.
