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?

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 B)

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.

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 ?

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.

ahh just there was a lad with an xt ,

I know but I'm a total beginner and really don't have a clue.

Looks like you "know" divster... and we all have to start somewhere. :)

its good to have a brew and a natter and a look around the bikes ;)

what's "natters" precious? (in my best gollum voice... and off topic) :D

Ah... makes perfect sense now. Sorry

Hopefully my bike will be sorted by Wed, so I can have a ride over.

I've fitted them. It was easy, and I enjoyed it. I just lost a screw inside the bike somewhere lol.
