    Ok,
    After the recent trip to Louee & my infamous blunder on the BLACK LOOP :unsure:
    I went out today & grabbed the new bars I needed,,, TB has been onto me for ages to replace the stockish bars, or at least get some risers :laugh:

    So, here are some pics from today`s little exercise

    A tad bent :blink:

    Now to sort the Bark Busters, as they are a bit knocked around as well :blush:
    So I need to source some Fat Bar clamps to attach the old ones to the new bars, or maybe IF I`m lucky, I might get some new ones that fit better ???

    Here`s Hoping for tomorrow :laugh:

    Cheers All

    Good job Eagle, very nice.
    You can buy the taper clamps for Bark Busters seperately but I dont know about the other brands if they’re not real Bark Busters.

    It will be like a new bike again after the old bent bars and standing up will be much better too.

    Cheers Boyz,

    I always said I`d hang out till I bent or broke the old bars TB :P

    I have seen the tapered Clamp kits, I am going to a shop tomorrow while in town for a look.
    I thought the Triple Clamp mounts might be a bit weird ???

    TB,I now have your spare clamp tucked away to get to Dan, with the dvd`s I have promised him :)
    Thanx again for the loan ;)

    Hopefully I will have it sorted for the Watto`s next week.

    Cheers

    Hi Fester, they are only about 20mm or so, they are required to fit the Fat Bars onto the standard clamps.

    I find the Tag grips fine Banger ;)
    Some members expressed thoughts that they seem to be a bit too large, but I find em to be fine.Depends on your hand size I guess,,,
    They are plenty soft & grippy and supposed to eliminate fatigue ;) I don`t go hard enough to get fatigued anyway :blink:

    Cheers
