Posted May 17, 201212 yr My new new handlebars have arrived and I'm going to fit them myself. It seems like a really simple job, is there any special technique or any advice anyone can give me?
May 17, 201212 yr what bars ya got ? ive just fitted drag bars to my divvyrat , when ya put the grips back on use hairspray thats what i got told and it works a treat
May 17, 201212 yr Author I've got an XT125 so I've just got some basic motocross ones. They're just cheap ones but they look ok. I wanted some Renthal ones but the ones I wanted were pretty expensive.
May 17, 201212 yr do they have the knurled (bumpy) bits on where the clamps would fit , cos if they dont get the tape measure out , i got mine 5mm off centre and it felt like i was pissed were you at squires at the weekend ?
May 17, 201212 yr Author No they don't, they've just got the criss - cross corrugated edge on the left hand side. I haven't been to Squire's yet. Another member suggested it to me the other day, so I had a look on their website and it looks really good. I only live a few miles away so I'm definitely going to have a ride over to check it out.
May 17, 201212 yr ahh just there was a lad with an xt , yeah squires aint a bad place deffo on a weds night if its nice ,im only in harrogate so i plod over whenever i can
May 17, 201212 yr Author I'm definitely going to go over, I'm just a bit apprehensive as I don't know any one.
