I just put the 7/8th Renthal Jimmy Button bars. They are about 1/2" taller and are 3/4" wider. To be the same as stock they need trimmed 3/8" on both sides. I left them wider. I wanted a cross bar to mount the GPS and stuff.
Righto, this is taxing my (limited) neuronal capacity. I'm looking for a quality replacement for the stock bars with similar / identical ergonomics - they're pretty much spot on for me. I just returned a set of Renthal 996 Reed / Windham bars - not enough sweep or height. So I took my bars off and took the following measurements off them as accurately as I could: Height: 130mm Rise: 70mm Sweep: 80 I don't know if anyone else is able to corroborate these numbers. So then I checked the Renthal & Protaper 7/8 bars for a match. From what I can tell the closest matches are: Renthal Vintage/Desert Height: 118mm Rise: 85mm Sweep: 78mm Renthal Enduro High Height: 130mm Rise: 95mm Sweep: 75mm Renthal Jimmy Button Height: 110 Rise: 85 Sweep: 67 Protaper ATV Low Height: 140 Rise: 88 Sweep: 84 Does this fit with what other inmates have found? Any particular recommendations? Baddrapp I see you fitted the Jimmy Buttons and found that they were actually higher than stock. Maybe I measured mine wrong (or we had different stock bars). Do you find them a close fit to the original? Crickey, this post is way too long...
I found this at http://www.f650gs.crossroadz.com.au/AlloyBars.html Model Width (A)Height (B)Rise (C)Clamp (D)Sweep (E)Control Length (F) F650GS/Dakar 790 mm 118 mm 79 mm 150 mm 93 mm 200 mm G650GS 10+ 812 mm 105 mm 65 mm 160 mm 80 mm 230 mm I figure the TR probably has the identical bar to the G650GS and therefore I got the height quite wrong.
I just compared both both bars sitting on the table. They where close with the above referenced numbers. I have the GPR stabilizer which raises the bars about 3/4 inches. These fit the bill as being close to the stockers. They are holding up great . I have completed my crash testing of the bars and they still look new. No spaghetti like the stock bars.
Thanks Baddrapp! I spotted a set of those Jimmy Buttons in the shop today so I reckon I might grab them tomorrow. Hope you held up to the crash testing as well as the bars!
I have Protaper MX bars with 1" risers. Love em. Perfect for standing. They were fairly close to the same profile of the stock bars.
Thanks Dandy, Magoo for the responses / info. Dandy, I'll try the Jimmy Buttons first and see how I go, cheers.
The part number for the BMW G650GS/Sertao (32 71 7 708 103) and Terra (7708103) bars is the same, DeLewis is correct
