Aftermarket handlebars.....

[Wavex]

Widest bars EVAR! Looked good on your bike though.

Yes, they are indeed quite wide... I had considered shortening them by an inch on each side, but it turned out to be fine without modding them

 

[McLovin]

I will try again.....

What are these mirrors??

I put a pair of FZ1 bars on and it is way better than stock and does not have the painful sweep angle. I did just buy a pair of Rizoma's as I want to give them a shot and see how they feel. I will update later this week to see if I like them better.

I used Ventura brand Drag Bars....cheap, and effective.

Absolutely love them...gets you just that little bit further over the front wheel, giving you more feedback from the front hoop.

:thumbup:

I am intrested in the Ventura.
I am wondering what sort of bar end does it use?
Can any model of Motovation or R&G fit ?

 

[getsome]

i just put on suburban machinery bars. And i love the feel now. A little pricey, but if you dont mind, they are an awesome bar. Sit forward and lower quite a bit. They about 26" wide. I know some people say they hit the mirrors at full lock, but if you nekkid, no need to worry. :rockon:

Got the ABM Superbike Bar. Not the best pic, sorry. It feels and drives a 1000 times better than the stock bar. :thumbup:

ABM - Company

Does anyone have the Yamaha part no for the FZ1 bar? I treaded through Yamaha parts sites and can never find the part for the bar itself.

In Canada it's harder to find FZ1 parts, apparently.

I had the FZ1 handlebars on my 2005 FZ6, but unless you twist the bars upward, or twist the controls downward, or add steering stops, the bars WILL hit your tank. I had the controls hit the tank. tried to twist the bars upward, but was not comfortable.

I would recommend something with less of a degree bend back, if you looking for drag bars. The straighter the best. Just my 2 cents

Thanks for the heads-up. Anyone know if the same issue happens to 08+ FZ6?

I've also been tempted to convert to streetfighter, and may do so if the FZ1 bar doesn't fit well.

Yes. You have to set up the bar just right.. as close as possible to the tank without actually hitting it. My right side clears the tank by less than 1/4".
Not great for full-lock turns.. my thumbs rest on tank when I have the bar turned all the way to either side, but how often do you do those?
If you twist the bar up for more clearance, it's less comfortable.
When set up correctly, it's very good.

I have a quick question. If I bought aftermarket handlebars, such as these, could I use my stock bar ends?

Nope. Stock bar and FZ1 bar have threaded inserts. Aftermarket bars just have hallow internals. You will have to get aftermarket bar ends.

My setup as now. Still waiting for the windshield and Yamaha 2008 Tenere mirrors.

Looks good! What bars did you use?

 

[stege]

"WRP" bars. Cheap too (35 euro).

 

[Druff]

I went Flanders on another bike as they have almost any pullback, rise, width you can possibly want. Find where/what looks/feels comfortable on the bike and then you can match the geometry to the bars you need to get there.
