Ok so I am fecking around with a GN250 & turning it into a cafe racer / play toy ( yeah yeah I know it is a GN250 )
I am going to change them from the ghey type that is on at this point to a straight set.
The dia of the bars is 22mm, but what I want to know is do I go for a Tube or a Solid round ?
Why would you use either option ?
:wait:

Tube, and get an internal throttle, and run the switchgear wires internally too. Also, tube gets you a lot more strength/weight than solid.

You can buy from that first link. Being Japanese, it'll probably work pretty good too. Might get one myself!

tube is some what more forgiving in the event of a opps..
solid just breaks people..

There's hundreds of different shapes, just pick one from that cattledog.
