Looking at changing the bars on my 12S for a Renthal replacement. So what type have you guys got? Anyone using the Renthal streetfighter bar? Thanks E |

I didn't spend the money for Renthals, but went with steel O'Neal CR250 bend motocross bars. Lower, wider, and less rake. Very comfortable and cheap at $19.95 to try. I figured if I didn't like them I could always swap them back out! |

My XB9S has Renthal high street bars fitted. I like 'em, they fit me perfectly. They're uncomfortable above 85/90mph for more than short periods, but that's ok |

Will, i asked you about those Azonics in the past but forgot to ask you if you removed the crossbar? Seems the Azonic's that I found on the CycleGear site have the crossbar. Those look killer. Wish they came in black though |

I second the Moose bars. I wanted to have the cross bar. Available in multiple colors, and sizes. Craig (Message edited by 99buellx1 on January 17, 2005) |

Steve_UK What is the model number for the Renthal high Street bar? Did you have problems with control cable/hose lengths? I have tried some other MX bars but the cables were too short. Al @ Am Sport Bikes thought I was crazy to want a higher bar! Thanks, DBird |

Thanks for input guys. Dana, Craig that style of bar is what i'm after but in the UK Renthal are easier to source. Any idea of Moose dimensions so i can get a similar Renthal. Thanks E |

Steve_UK, I LOVE that extended rear hugger. I ordered one about a week ago. That pic makes me glad I did. |

Check out AFAM bars. I like the High Dirt Track bend, but they have a lot more to choose from. http://www.afamusa.com |

I went with the KX bend. I was originally looking at Renthals also, but could not find the size I wanted in black. Craig |

DBird29.. The 'bars are the Renthal Road Bike High, no. 756-01. You can compare different sizes on this page, about half-way down... http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/pdf/RenthalHandlebars.pdf The previous owner of my bike had fitted the 'bars, and he tells me there were no problems with cable and hose lengths |
