Renthal Fatties installed

[cozmo2312]

originally i had ordered the wrong sized clamps. the bolt was too big for the holes in the triple, got the right clamps sent to me, bars back on. amazingly everything went back together just as it came apart.

the original plan for this was to eventually get the N model headlight, so if the bars wouldn't go lock to lock without hitting, i wasn't concerned. however, much to my surprise, nothing touches. tank is free and front fairing is free, lock to lock. i might just save my $600 and put it towards a full akra.

bars feel good. maybe and inch lower, more forward and hands are wider. like my supermoto with a lot more powah.

They look great Cozmo, and just to be that little "devil on your shoulder", it certainly would look sweet with a full exhaust system!:wow:

 

[cozmo2312]

for sure. it's on the list, haha

Nice looking bars. How are the vibrations since you eliminated the stock bar ends?

 

[cozmo2312]

seems smoother actually.


i didn't have a whole lot of miles on the stock setup, but on my little ride today, no vibes at all.

also gets rid of the weird wrist angle that has your knuckles pointed out. now your hands/wrists are more perpendicular with the bars/bike

Awesome! Nice mod. :tup: I'm a bit biased about the looks/color/year.... lol!!

Question? What FE is that under the tail?

 

[cozmo2312]

Are those street specific bars and clamps or dirt? I like that set up.

 

[cozmo2312]

dirt bars :tup:

Cosmo ... where did you find Renthal Clamps to fit the FZ1?

Thanks!

Very nice cozmo :tup:

They look very similar to Rizoma Conical handlebars.

How much were the bars and risers?

Digging on another forum it looks like Cozmo went with the Suzuki Renthal Clamp (model CL003) that come with 10mm bolts that fit the FZ1.

Cosmo correct me if wrong.. if so those clamps are around $53...
Renthal Fatties are about $75

Looks Good...love the clamps.

The weights at the ends of the bars are really a safety device.

If you run over a pothole on edge, and you're not holding on real tight for whatever reason, the weights will greatly diminish the jolt and give you a chance to recover.

When I bought my 07, the previous owner had removed the original heavy ones and had replaced them with 'pretty' (and light) aluminium ones - I put the originals back.

I would like to know. Been wanting something like this. Can this be done keeping the weighted bar ends?
