    New handlebars?

    Hey there,
    as a general idea, I was thinking of looking into getting a new set of handlebars for my Hyosung GV250 (near-straight bars) and have a general question or two for anyone who knows: Are there considerations other than getting the right diameter bars for the bike that have to be taken into account? That, and, are there any particular companies in NZ that could be recommended for handlebars?

    Cheers all

    Awesome, thank you very much! I'm not sure why, but I was imagining it to be a DIY only job... Absent mindedness ahoy

    Contact Steve aka DB.

    He's done it and says it's a piece of cake.

    It would take me 'kin ages.

    Personally paying someone a few bucks to do it would be my preference.

    Bar ends can sometimes be optional.

    I recently had new bars fitted $60 for bars, $25 for grips, labour $112.50 (align forks & steering, fit parts).

    Plenty of bar ends for sale on Trademe if you require them.

    tie some string around your fingers to the controls and some cable from your wrists to the forks. As you ride along you can wave wildly to the people around you and control the bike at the same time.

    It's how all the sick puppeteer bikers do it.

    Gotta make sure they clear your tank on full lock, make sure all your cables will reach the new postion.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Did mine too. Very easy. Definitely a DIY job.
