accokeek88 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm contemplating switching out the handlebars for something higher and angled back more than the stock ones. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm concerned about clutch and brake cable length and any part numbers would be great!

beberle Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Reviving an old post. I'm thinking about trying to bend my bar ends back a couple degrees. The angle of the bars has my elbows too far out for me. Anyone else try try it yet, or find aftermarket bars with more angle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozi Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Reviving this thread again for a different reason. My bike was maliciously knocked over by some knuckhead near my condo. The bar ends and my FJR bags took the damage but the handlebars are bent and need replaced. Anyone have any information on switching out the handlebars? Thanks!

docsimple Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 so I would note that all the attachmenst on the bar have a metal nipple that pokes into a hole drilled in the bar. Holds stuff in place great but a PITA if you want to move anything around. Also something you will have to either deal with by grinding down the nips or drilling holes in an aftermarket bar. I did see a video on installing carbon fiber bars on an FZ09 that looked extra tasty though... might be worth grinding some nipples. 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydee914 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'd love to be more forward and maybe slightly lower on the front end, so I'm interested in seeing other people's experience with different bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
