howie333 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) 07 fj-09 I may have bent my handlebars to point of replacement from a fall. My question is should I replace w/ 07 originals, newer narrower Tracer bars, or other replacements. Are there recommendations ? Please reply, tnx Howie.....

Not sure what you mean by 07 but you can swap them out with any bar that has a 1-1/8" center clamp area, - wider, narrower, shorter, taller, straighter, more sweep etc. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie333 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Sorry; I meant 2017. Not sure if a narrower width would be better in any way with the new Tracer bars ? Are there any after market bars that would be a better choice ? TNX. Edited June 29, 2020 by howie333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I hated the stock bars on the FJ09, way too wide and straight for me. I am critically picky about bike ergonomics and control positioning though, I change bars on every bike I own, street and dirt. When swapping bikes with riding buddies, the first thing I notice is their setup and I always want to pull out the tools and make quick adjustments. If you aren't as picky as me then just get a similar bar shape to what you have. Any handlebar you buy will list dimensions, they will all differ slightly to suit your preference. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarlson9 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I'm going to do this to the 2016 I just bought. But apparently to use the stock handguards I'll have to tap the ends of the bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
