What dirtbike bars do you run?

I read and read, but cant decide on what bars to go with. Nobody runs them up here so I dont know what bend would be comfortable.

Tag/Renthals/Protapers? What bend. 1 1/8" right? Somone chose for me lol. Im broke too, so whatever is cheap.

Re: What dirtbike bars do you run?

i run 11/8 renthal fatbars on tag risers but i would just invest in a damn full throttle or LSL one same diff. just about the same cash for the hassle of puttin it on and its all done right not to mention you'll bend some serious amounts of bars. or 0 degree clip ons from freestyle those are sick

^^^ Posted the same time as me^^^

I run stock dirtbike bars, on my dirtbike. Why not just turn your stock clip-ons out?

The stock ones. Pop the circlips off and pull the bars up like 1/4" and rotate them forward until they are almost straight, then tighten them back down. This improves your riding position as well as increases the survivability of your controls in the event that your bars have an untimely meeting with the pavement, they will just rotate out of the way, instead of breaking.

Re: What dirtbike bars do you run?

you guys like renthall too much pro tapers are dope out of all the mx racing i did i never wrecked a single bar. renthals on the other hand were a diffrent story. but on my bike i have vortex race clipons you can adjust them to any angle you want and they have replaceable bars i like them and it's a cheap easy fix

Re: What dirtbike bars do you run?

I have Pro-Taper Contours in a Woods-Lo bend.....it was the best combo of minimum height(2.8"), minimum width(30.5"), and minimum pullback(?) that I could find in an 1-1/8" bar. 7/8" bars you can get shorter skinnier bars though. I think there is a peewee bend in a 7/8" from Applied, but not sure how much room you will have for "extra" controls, like your handbrake!

most bars are about 32" wide and real close to 3" tall

Also, I got me one of those pimp FullThrottleInc triple clamps too. Looks good and has been through a few nasty drops and a nice endo flip......in which the bars DID NOT bend....but did grind the end of the throttle tube down and grind a 1/4" of the bar of at an angle.
