    Has anyone tried the Neken SFS triple yet and if so was it comparable to flexx bars or any other alternative. Looking to maybe try some but don't want to plop down that much cash if they are all hype. I like the idea of pretty much infinite adjustability with one setup.

    I've heard good things about flexx bars but I like my bar bend and setup and don't really want to change that and I like to run my levers down quite a bit more than they allow.
    The composi bars look promising other that the price and you need their handguard setup if you want to run them and with the different flex options how do you know which one to buy and they are spendy for just bars.

    Don't know about the rest but flexx bars are a huge improvement. I really thought it was just a waste of money until a rode a friends bike with them. The cost is high but it's really worth it

    Do you think becuase of the flex that they hold up better in a crash? Seems like you hear good things about the durability of these things which would be a consideration becuase of the price.

    I felt a set at my local dealer a couple days ago and their also pretty heavy. Looked very well made, just heavy.

    That's a good point. Once you have a setup you like you can keep it!

    I've used Flexx Bars for 10 years and they work. My biggest reality check on how well they work, was 2 years ago.... My avatar pic is me racing my '82 250WR at Unadilla AHRMA National XC. It was my first time racing the '82 in a long time and it didn't have Flexx Bars. After the race my hands and wrists were sore in a way, that I hadn't experienced since switching to Flexx Bars on my other bikes. It will have them before I race it again.

    Actually it is hard to get parts for them after a crash because you can't buy them.

    In 10 years I've crashed more than a few times and haven't wrecked a set yet. Original pair is still in service, on a friend's bike. They won't sell parts due to liability issues, but do offer a reduced price replacement for crash damaged bars.

    Ah just buy them. With the way you go through bikes the flexx bars are the only investment because you can keep them :)
