Premium Member builderbob Posted November 8, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted November 8, 2018 Finally got to see and sit on a new GT today. Have to say that the new, narrower handlebars are quite an improvement over previous years. Seem to have more sweep and put the grips a little closer to the rider. Very comfortable for me. My FJ is farkled out fairly extensively and I'm not considering trading for the new model, but I was impressed enough by the handlebars to order a set for for my bike. Can't wait to put them on my FJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigorangecntry07 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Did you order the Yam ones or find aftermarket bars that have the similar specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew the specs I might have ordered aftermarket, but I'm not aware of a source for the actual specs of the OEM bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member bugsplatered Posted November 8, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted November 8, 2018 After a ride please give us know your opinion of the Tracer GT handlebars. I am considering the same improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say that the new, narrower handlebars are quite an improvement over previous years. I hope you like the new Tracer bars, narrower with a bit more sweep should be an improvement for sure, that was one of the first changes I did to my '15. When looking over the bike on the showroom, the first thing that caught my eye was the excessively wide bars, I knew right away that those would have to go in the trash. I bought narrower bars and then cut a little bit more off each end, with the grip and throttle tube installed, my width is 30" grip to grip. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
