Where do I find fat bar clamps? I'd like to swap out these thin stock bars for some nice Evos or equal. I see the pics people have posted for the Motosportz clamps, but can't find any info for ordering them.....neither here or on Motosportz website, or anywhere else. Sent email to Motosportz many days ago without receiving a Reply. Maybe he's on vacation....I donno. Also, where is the Motosportz skid plate thread hiding? Either I'm blind, dreamed it, or has vanished from CafeHusky. Soon.....I may even forget my way home. HF
Hey HF, i tried the regular "universal" adapters but no bueno. I emailed Kelly and he sent me his fat bar riser/adapter kit and it is perfect. If you click on the Forums tab, scroll down to vendors and click on motorsportz's page. You'll find the skid plate thread etc there. He was very responsive, so maybe he's out playing somewhere.
Here are a couple of pics of the Motosportz risers and bar package.The bars look similar to the stocks but have less sweep back,which was better for my old wrists
I've got the fat bar clamps from Motosportz, too. Got black ones...they're gorgeous! The skidplate was even prettier. Now all I need is some fat bars
Hi. Are all the cables long enough for the risers? Or did you need to re-route them or change them? Thanks!
Plenty of room for 1/2" risers and taller bars. It sure makes the bike more comfortable for standing up and sitting down.
I returned the Motosportz/TrailTech fat bars as they wouldn't accommodate the inserts for Acerbis hand guards, ended up with Easton fat bars which turned out a little cheaper anyway. And the red risers/clamps do look good!
Thanks for sharing this additional info & pics.....very helpful. I think buy a black pair in the taller riser. These look very high quality. I've sent another email to Motosportz. He seems to be inactive during the Holiday. I hope to hear from him later this week. HF
Are those heated grips Bikemaster? Do they have good heat output on aluminum bars? I am changing the bars on mine and may as well put the grips on while I'm at it.
What bend did you get? I'm thinking of going to something like the CR High Bend, if Easton offers it, but don't want to outrun the stock cables. Did you go 1/2" higher on the mounts, or what? Also, did you notice if the mount tops are milled "flat"? Stock has high on one side and low on the other, and prevent fitting HDB hand guards, which I covet for this bike.
I got these bars in the "Henry/Reed" version which I think is CR high bend. I went with the high rise Motosportz clamps, not quite sure about your last question. The clamp bolts are all the same length and the clamps themselves are symmetrical. http://www.motosport.com/dirtbike/EASTON-EXP-118-HANDLEBARS
Stock bars are 7/8" diameter at the mounts (traditional....standard type steel bars). You didn't specify what measurements you wanted. Sold my stock bars to someone else, so don't have them anymore to measure. But, I think they were about 31 - 32 inches long (fairly typical....except without a crossbar). Fatbars....which I much prefer....have a 1 1/8" diameter at the center mount. However, they still have the same size on the ends (for grips). They taper down from center to edge. Hope the info helps.
