Just wondering what everyone thought about them Ide make it a poll but I have no idea how to do that. Pros? Cons?

I personally dont really consider them "cheater bars" but I will say it does to me make it a stunt only bike kinda. Im aware that putting MX bars on do make it easier to wheelie because of the ergos. i also noticed that spiegler offers several bar styles just wondering input on which style is the best if there is a best.

 

Oh yea also info/opinions on clip-ons. Pros/Cons, clip-ons vs. MX bars, etc.

 

Renthals are dope, their strong & cheap incase you bend them.

As far as cheaters.. hmm. Straightening clip-ons gives the same effect. The bars give me more clearance, being 6'2" on a 600 thats always good. I love mine, wouldnt go back.

 

check out the conversions bill has at www.fullthrottleinc.net

 

From another thread. Just a rough idea of how easy they are to fit

 

Doesn't look bad at all!! What if you wanna keep your fairings on, will the bar hit them or get in the way

 

umm, personally I can't stand the look of bikes with moto bars and fairings. I think the bars would hit the fairings pretty badly and you'd need to chop them up a bit.

One thing a buddy of mine just did with his Gixxer 1000 though was to fit a set of TL1000S clipons. They're higher and his says they're much more comfortable for stunting. I've also heard of other people grinding off the stops on their clipons to bring them forward a little.

I guess right now I'm quite happy on a street fighter as I'm no where near as good as I'd like to be and can afford to dump my bike a bit without smashing plastics. Maybe in a while I'll go back to clipons and fairings.

 

what do you do when you have a 929 or 954 that has an uneven tripple clamp?
those flat mounts wont work do they make a a fitting for that?

 

Can u still use a steering dampener with the bars?

 

Renthals are pretty good but i dont think dirt bars make that much of a difference. A little more comfortable but nothing major or else everyone would use them.

 

Bill @ Fullthrottle makes a billet piece for 929/954's. Check his site. Some bad stuff bro, its trick looking.

Also, Freestyle Ingenuity makes some kinda mounts, ask Tim. Dave & Tim of P.O.B. run them, I remember looking at his setup but cant recall details.

My friend just mounted the clamps on the flat part on his 929, that works also, but not as fancy.

 

You cant use a scotts with the mx bars but you can go with a top mount set up like hyperpro or other brands where it mounts near the tank.

 

take your clamp to a machine shop and have him make shims to even it out

 

here's what i did - i used a small sec. 40 pipe and cut them into the shape of the tripple tree, and then put the bolt in that but seems to work good just looks like s***.

 

Those look EXACTLY like mine. I think they are the same ones actually...

They look pimp as hell on my 900rr

 

i run mx bars on my 7/12, i like the extra leverage from the wide *** bars. i grew up on dirtbikes, so it just feels more natural to me i guess. that, and i can just bend em back if/when i drop the bike. clip-ons have had a tendency to just snap off.

 

BS scotts makes enduro steering dampers.

 

Scotts dampeners are the same foo, the mounting point change.

How's the F2? You been riding or has the weather been bad?

 

what to do about a gsxr 750?? i have tried a couple different heigth clamps. but the bar hits the fork tube dials. which means i have to screw them waaay in. the bars then work, but my forks feel like crap. now what ?????????????????????

 

Get high-mounts.

Ask a motocross guy at your local shop, he should know.

MSR, Renthal, White Brothers.. I'm sure those Co.'s make them.
