I'm looking for narrower handlebars for my XB12Scg. Also looking for mirrors that are a little narrower, but hopefully aren't totally useless. The stock ones are wide enough to make lane-splitting a little difficult here. | ||

Anyone have any suggestions? | ||

I would suggest going to a local motorcycle shop and looking at the different bars they have. Most non harley shops will have a rack with a bunch of different bars with different lengths and bends so you can find the one you like. As far as mirrors I have no Idea, most people either switch to bar ends or aprilia mirrors on the lightnings | ||

You're gonna be hard pressed to find any regular style handlebars more narrow than 28 inches that will accommodate the width of your controls. I tried the super bike Renthals for a while. I actually cut about an inch off each end and barely had room for the controls. I am now running the crossroads from American Sport Bike and really like them. You may have to put an R triple on there and mount factory styled clip-ons to go any more narrow. Lane splitting is not an issue for me as you go to jail or the morgue here in Oklahoma riding like that. Best of luck | ||

CRG make mini bar end mirrors that fold in the way so are above the grips.  | ||

If you get the fat bar riser/adaptor the 1125CR clubman bars are very narrow. I can split some pretty tight places with a single bar end mirror. | ||

Nope...the Clubman bar is VERY close to the stock bar. Ask me how I know... Because of the design of the front of the bike, the only way to narrow the grip width is to make a riser bar that "Z's" toward the middle of the bike's centerline. One could...do the bar end mirrors. BUT...the overall width is still the same. With the addition of the inch needed for the mirror on each side, the overall width will remain essentualy the same as the stock bar....! You may gain, maybe 1/2" overall, depending on the bar end mirror. But they're crap as far as I'm concerned. Mike | ||

What mods need to be done to install the Clubmans? | ||

Fat bar risers/adaptors, rotated starter switch and hole drilled for clutch cable. Search. Lots of threads on CR bars. |
