Do the ram air duct covers get in your way?
The only thing that bugs me about the F4i is how close the ram air duct covers are to the handlebar controls. If the clutch and brake levers aren't adjustedway too high then I get my fingers in between the levers and ram air covers when low-speed turning at full steering lock. I've got long arms and long fingers, so I prefer my levers to be rotated pretty far down the bars. Ihave tried to get used to them up where they have to be, but its still a pain in the **** to be letting the clutch out while turning the bars fully to the left, especially with thick cold weather gloves on.
I don't really think anything can be changed so I just deal with it, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has this issue(i.e. complaint).

ALL THE TIME! i am pretty tall and have long arms too, so i am in the same position. my levers are much higher than i would like them to be, but after a while you get use to it. and to be honest, it is A LOT worse on some of my friends bikes that i have ridden. the F4i is definitelymore friendly to bigger riders when compared to some of the other 600s on the market...

The way my parking spot is at work is I have to go around the gate (mc don't get swipe cards, only the cars do)and do an immediate 270° on a 20% grade. That was real fun the first time since I'd adjusted my levers down and ended up pinching my fingers mid-turn.
I've had to set the levers higher than I prefer just so I can make tight turns like that.
