Just curious how the ride changed with the bar. I will prob opt for the med rise Renthal at American Sport Bike. However, the Rizoma bars are drop dead sexy. I like the red one pictured here http://www.rizoma.com/Prodotti/zoom.cfm?IMG=http:/ /www.rizoma.com/IMG/Prodotti/Big/AZ600B.jpg. When paired with the Rizoma Lux grips....even sexier. Curious about the Lux grips as well. Thanks!

I have Rizoma grips and love them. They are a bit skinny but that wasn't a problem for me.

We sell Rizoma bars and grips and they are very popular : ) The bars are extremely well made and well anodised (won't scratch off easily like some others!).
They do normal 22mm bars http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/159.html or 29mm fat bars http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/151.html with a Buell handlebar clamp conversion available http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/149.html

Both Sportline http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/153.html and Lux http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/290.html grips are alloy with rubber inserts on them so can take some getting used to if you are accustomed to soft grips, but offer great feel. They come supplied with throttle cable guide etc so replace the whole throttle tube assembly and not just the grip. The left grip attaches using two small grub screws to clamp to the bar, so they are held securely in place but you can remove and refit them easily.

I have the LUX grips on my street Firebolt, they look great but being 1/2 rubber and 1/2 aluminum they are slippery . I have been o Busy/lazy to change them out for the Rizomas which look good and have the aluminum on the edges not into the grip area.

I just installed a set of red rizoma bars with the sport style grips, and red bar ends last night! I love them, totally changes the look of the bike from rider perspective!
