does anyone know who stocks or can get in the Pro Taper windham fat bars. i have reed /henry on top of 30mm risers and the bend and sweep is just too xtreme makes it harder to attack off the front of the bike especially if im tired. the windham bars are supposed to have the least sweep and less bend..

thoughts on any other bars out there that would do the job also?

Renthal make a Windam Replica bend (998) in twinwall, they too are fat bars, with a cross bar.


I rode a Honda with 996 Twinwall's a year or so back and loved it, they're a very flat bar - little sweep and an average height, very comfortable bend. If you want a really low bend the 999's are the same as the 996's but 1cm lower. The twin walls are a very strong bar, i personally run the 996's, have done on all my bikes since riding the one years ago.


More info regarding bends..

i run a windom fatbar set up on my bikes, i really like the bend, Pro Tapers are hard to get in NZ at the moment as there is no distributor,
