I will look at the number on them when I remember.

Yeah they looked good. look a bit better than my stupidly wide ones.

Nice and chunkay too

What sort do you have on Dave?

I'm looking for more Streetfighter type bars

Anything apart from the ultra-lows and you are going to start having issues with fitment of the cables. With the aftermarket brake lines you may just find they are slightly longer than standard lines so could possibly get away with it. But the real issue is going to be your throttle cables and the control cables.

Hmmm... sounds like a fair bit of faffing about. Where would I get longer throttle and clutch cables?

I did think the braided lines were slightly longer than standard so I though I might get away with it

Look on my bent bana thread (sig) about page 6. What colour's your bike I have a few sets for sale. They're dead comfy, stronger and wider so you have more control...but don't look as good as the ultra lows. I didn't have to change any cables when I fitted them (already had braided lines fitted)

Dave, what colour is the bar in the top of the picture - it look chrome to me...

top is standard, below is renthals (annodised green), got em in blue, purple or red. Purple and red both look mint if they'll suit ya bike.

My bike's red. But I'm not really into the whole colour matching thing, but would you be kind enough to supply me with a picture?

I guess spraying them black would make them too thick to put all the controls on

I used green on my yellow bike, the contrast doesn't look bad (ideally wanted gold though). If you're going to spray them I have some second hand blue ones with holes already drilled for switchgears and cut down to size. I'll get pics of the others, purple might look good.

If I could spray the blue ones up without too much trouble then I think they would be the best bet.

How much you looking for mate?
