theyre cheap shit!!!! i use to have them and had to grind the mounts so that they would clamp the bars tight. they always come loose and fall apart every time they get knocked. cheap n nasty

got acerbis now and had no problems at all

These ones.

They are probably the ones for fat bars. Do you have fat bars?

Nah, they are Zeta mounts.

They are cheap, and there are prob better ones. Mine have served pretty well and taken so good solid smacks. Just remember to locktight or thread tape the bolts cause they wil come loose if you don't.

See if Barty can get you the correct mounts, they won't be that expensive.

Yeah, I don't have fat bars...thought that would be obvious by my post. Obviously I was wrong. Yeah, thanks for tip. Barty...price on zeta thin bar mounts?

Zeta's were only $40 so just looking for something to save my controls in a getoff.

You got a good price on them, I have the same and they seem all good. The amount of abuse I put my bike thru with no damage to them, only on my last ride I chipped part of the brake lever off not sure how but there was some ghosting involved lol

Zeta barkbusters are pretty good protection however the fat bar clamps are made especially for zeta fat bars. For other bar types they are a compromise. Every fat bar maker has a slightly different taper and thats why Barkbusters offer 4 different choices for a mounting kit. This table gives you a rough idea which bars are similar.

I'll have a look at home if you want, i might have some inserts kiciking around. Ive used these Zeta ones for a long time and never had an issue,just make sure you loctite the bolts
