    Renthal "789 Streetfighter" bar's.

    Had them on my GSXR11, Bandit12, Hayabusa.

    Cant find them here,
    I get them sent out from the UK.
    No VAT or GST mean's they're as cheap as local dirtbike bars
    and get here in 4 or 5 days.

    http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/handle...er-braced.html

    only downside i've ever found is if you dont like the brace,
    it leaves a mark from the clamps when you remove it.

    My choice of bar.

    Lots of Streetbike bars tend to be around 700mm, Dirtbike 800mm.
    789's are around 750mm so normaly you can get away with re-routing
    the switch gear loom / choke and throttle cables. Even going from
    clip-on's to Renthals on the Busa it only needed new clutch and brake
    fluid lines (to be on the safe side)
    They also have plenty of "straight" to take grip's, switch gear and
    mastercylinder/mirror clamps that many dirtbike bar's dont.

    I like to get a few K's in but have a bad arm / shoulder and get too many aches
    and pain's with most bar's. Might just be that after enough years my old bones
    have got used to that model of Renthal's. Done a couple of 900k+days and LOTS
    of regular 600k+ rides and I have no drama with them.
    Then again, i am a bit of a Luddite...LOL.

    welcome to ASF redders.. i hope your going to input us on your build mate and not just use us for our infinite wisdom...

    anyways, Renthal 789's are 7/8 or 22mm bars, factory Hornet bars should be the same, so i'd say 100% direct bolt on mate..

    The renthals could be a fair bit wider so you might have to route the cables differently and at worst buy some new brake lines if you don't have any slack with the oem one's. I'm sure Gitzy is right but just bear in mind that there could be a variable or two.

    And go and say hello before the big bad wolves get you

    Which mirrors are they Albi?
    I'm running underswept Rizomas on my tag t2 bars and can see fuk all! Trouble is if i use anything wider, i wont be able to get in the garage door! Those ones might be ok. How does the mounting part fit to the bar?

    Mate i have Renthel copy's and the switch gear is no problem in fact you could probably trim 20mm off each side and still not have a problem
