are renthals worth it?
 

small lowside yesterday coming off a roundabout at about 25mph. had generic cheap (alloy i presume) bars on the sv and the right side bent down and in clubman style. would renthals fair better with this kinda spill / are they worth the sheckles??

Re: are renthals worth it?
 

They're worth the cash in the way that they handle well. Bending your handle bars in an off isn't a major concern as there's loads mroe expensive stuff that's even more likely to go. Unless these ones you had fitted were particularly poor. For example a brand new oem clutch lever is almost double the price of a set of bars.

Hell yes.

Had a few crashes on my renthals and no damage at all. OEM bars bent in first crash almost to the tank.

Cool. Prob go renthal so. Ultra low road would be a nice bend im presuming?? Similar to stock except less sweep? The bars i had on were bought cheapy local so dunno what they were but i reckon they were these..

they're almost identical in width and curve to what I have fitted by the looks of things. I like the look of that red set at the front.....

Re: are renthals worth it?
 

hehe twas a joke! I actually went into the shop where I got them from the other day and was looking at the red ones and they look the same. I think they look pinker on the bike for some reason lol...

Re: are renthals worth it?
