Who's gone with dirt bike-style bars on their road bike?

Hornet mate so nothing to cut. Did the same on my Bandit with a fairing and it just touched the screen on full left lock. Never bothered about it.

Fair call,problem i have is the colour of the bike,if i trim the fairing it has to be painted and having gone down the path of colour matching with a fairing after a small off years ago i am loathe to do it again.That aside still like to see pics of your setup.

If it ain't got clip-ons the first thing I do to a machine is get nicer (mx style) bars. I'll see if I can find a pic of the last bandit

Zetas if I remember correctly. The Renthals are a lot to spring for.

I went naked with my Hyo 650R and I would much prefer bars over clip ons.

Good results but had to shave the top off of the screen

Could you get a touring screen that has the big curve up at the top? might give the bars some clearence?

**98tls** · 10th August 2013, 22:20

Will have to work out how much of the plastics need to go....

I'm in the process of finding some fatbars for the Speedy, can you remember what bend you went for? Zeta is at the top of my list for locally sourced bars at the moment.

They were the flattest I could get, but sorry I couldn't give you dimensions. The only change that I'll make when I do it again is rip the crossbar off. No need for it now on a road bike in my mind.
