MC19 vs MC22 handle bars

[limmy]

Hi guys,
I've bent the handle bar on my CBR250RR MC22. Does anyone know if the handle bars are the same on all the different version of 250RRs?

Thanks.

Not generally but always pays to ask

Limmy, I parked my heavily modified MC19 next to a MC22 at uni today to check this.

The MC19 clipons attach above the top triple clamp, and have a longer sleevey bit wot attaches to the shiny metal pipe that holds the wheel on, whereas the MC22 clipons attach below the top triple clamp and have a longer sleevey bit.

Also the MC19 clipons have a small finger of sorts that seats in the top triple clamp that prevents them rotating around the shiny metal pipe, I'm guessing that a MC22 clipon would have this on the top rather than the bottom.

If you want to have a look at my bike for further comparisons let me know.

Thanks for the detail analysis. But the short answer was "no" then :p
