sim666 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hi, i'm hoping someone will be able to give me some advice on fitting renthal streetfighter bars on my fz6. The problem is the stock bars have locating holes in them for the switchgear, however the renthal bars don't. I'm not sure whether or not it would be safe to drill holes in the new bars or whether it would weaken them too much. Does anyone know any other way to fix them? All advice would be much appreciated. Cheers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 hi Sim, i have fitted a set of renthal bars onto my 2001 Fazer thou and just drilled the bars to accept the peg on the throttle housing that stops it twisting (we cut the one off of the choke housing and that does certainly tend to move around a bit--you really don't want the throttle doing that on you!!). the bars are very thick and i don't believe you weaken them dangerously. as i said my bars are great and i have ridden a good 3000 miles since fitting them in the summer. P.S.the only thing i had grief with was my levers would foul on the wing mirrors.the answer is to get your mitts on a set of Trak Tek adjustable levers from Busters Accessories.(i paid £35 each for mine and they are the mutts nutts!). hope this helps Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
