Title: New parts!
Post by SavageGreaseMonkey13 on 06/11/08 at 17:59:40

Well after my wreck a few weeks ago i got my savage back running. I bent my handle bars and ripped off the left rear turn signal. Not bad for laying it over at 50mph in a ditch. Today my new Biltwell Frisco bars came in and i got them mounted. Man they look good. It gives the bike a whole new attitude. Im so happy with the way they turned out. Oh i also got some grips from Flyrite Choppers which are cool too. Hopefully i can get the pics on here. Sorry if the quality is not good because they were taken with my phone.Let me know what you guys think.

But are they Biltwellenough to handle a ditch at 50? Frisco

Looking good. Glad you didnt tear one or both of you up beyond repair.

well according to their site they should be-

"With few exceptions—those great stainless-steel handlebars from Exile come quickly to mind—most handlebars are made of mild steel. Don’t get us wrong—mild steel has many great properties. It’s easy to bend, easy to weld, abundant and affordable. However, when compared to seamless 4130 chromoly, the load strength, tensile strength and bend resistance of mild steel falls far short of its high-tech brother. This might explain why ab crunchers are made out of mild steel and why small aircraft fuselages are made out of chromoly. No one ever plummeted 30,000 feet to their death when their sit-up machine took a nuts.

MATERIALS: Biltwell handlebars are precision crafted with 100% seamless 4130 chromoly. Depending on each bar’s size and design, the wall thickness of our tubing varies from 1.6mm to 2.0mm. These wall variances let us minimize weight without compromising strength."

Wouldn't a stronger steel handlebar be more likely to vibrate,where the softer bars absorb the vibes

It would be interresting to build a set of bars, 1/2 of each tyoe material & see if one side wobbles harder.

Sounds like some fine bars.

i havent noticed any more vibration than with the stock pullbacks. they are a lot lighter than the stock bars. i like them alot. i had to pull them back a little because they were a little uncomfortable and i zip tied the wires down to them. its just great to be able to ride again.
