i have seen a few posts mentioning renthal bar's for the hornet,
so i was on the rental site and could not find bike specific bars,
only generic,
the problem with the genetic ones is i have no idea how they will act/feel, untill they arrive to my door step
what are these so called recommended bars?

I've the Ultra Lows on my 900 Hornet.

And you are correct - unless you can find someone with the same bike with the bars you are interested in, you will not know how they fit until they are on!

Click on the dimensions in that link and compare against your existing ones.

i wouldn't spend the money on renthals

i put some zeta bars on the bandit were a third of the price and theres nothing wrong with the quality

go into a shop and compare, it can also give you an idea of how they will fit you and the bike

I thought the Renthal bars were quite reasonably priced, certainly a lot less expensive than Ducati bars. And the Ducati bars were actually Magura anyway...

Whatever, it's best not to drill them.
