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!

It's 7/8", 12swg wall.

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