High Quality Handlebars!: Controls

They are thicker and stronger than the standard handlebars. I cut an inch off each end for my comfort on my FZ07. These rods put me in a more aggressive stance and widen my grip for added leverage.

Pros
  • Handlebar
Cons
  • Discontinued

I like the bars and the position they put me in.

Love the handlebar and the position it puts me in on the bike, amazing handlebar. However, the tabs holding the crossbar in place are difficult to move without scratching the crossbar.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • A few little things

Installed on Fz07

These bars completely change the feel of the fz07. The handlebars are wider and don't lean back too much, eliminating the cramped feel that standard handlebars give. They look great and are very strong. If you have the fz07 and decide to keep the crossbar, you will need to move the dash.

Pros
  • Controls
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

Excellent bars in parts

I installed them on a Kawasaki Z650. The stock handlebars always felt tight and my wrist was so flexed that after a bit of riding it was uncomfortable. I installed them today and it's like a new bike. It was easy to install. I had to remove the crossbar and that's fine because I'm not putting any weight on the bike. If you were close to buying these for your bike I would recommend them. Here are some photos.

Pros
  • parts
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
