Dirt Bike Bar Q's

sileralt · 11-01-2009, 04:47 PM

Which bar should I look at getting that will allow me to still mount all my controls? I don't want to get something too thick for the throttle, levers, etc. Can I mount the bar clamps to my stock triple clamp? Any and all info is greatly appreciated. I looked at Hohey's setup. But I don't really want to spend more than maybe $100 bucks for the setup.

Renthal fat bars! or another fat bar, they taper down where the controls are!!

Renthal twinwalls last forever and they used to have a lifetime warranty, not sure if they still do..

But I went threw tons of bars when I was racing MX until I switched to twinwalls and than never went threw another bar!

what kind of bike?

on an f4i you can drill the top plate and mount dirtbike risers to it then put any 7/8" dirtbike bar on it.

I use 7/8 protaper bars on my f4i and it fits all my controls and handbrake. On a 636 with that top triple clamp i'm not sure if you would have a place to drill a hole to mount clamps to it.

the twinwall bars alone will be well over 100$

That's very true, wasn't thinking about the $100 limit.

I think I paid about $300 for my twinwalls back in 01 but I still have them!!

(I think there way cheaper now though)

ya, they are around 140$ or so a set depending on where you get them.

for the kaw, i'm not sure there is room to drill for risers. The top triple is stepped so there isn't a good flat surface.
