    7/8" Flat handle bars

    Has anyone spotted any 7/8" flat bars off a mountain bike or similar that I could use on my moped? All the mountain bike ones I can find are 1".

    At the moment I've got some horrible cruiser style bars, and I'm not quite tough enough for clip ons!

    Get some 06 FZ1 bars. Cost me about $90. nice profile, flat, with a slight sweep back toward the rider.

    The cheaper the better as they are to go on a $900 Chinese moped that I am slowly doing a version of a cafe racer on! I have an image of narrowish flat bars in my head, but drag bars might be even better?

    The more research I do, the cooler the drag bars look, so I'd be very keen, let me know what they're worth to you and I'll send some $ your way.

    I can see this is a downward spiral of cosmetic improvements...

    I'll send pictures first - there are drag bars and drag bars. Also - if its a mini bike, they may limit leg room, a10 type bars turned upside downs the go there....

    Found the camera and 5 mins - all have been test fitted but not used. The set in the middle is an alloy dirt bike bend - quite flat and they were used for 2 days riding.
