Different bars?
03/18/11 at 14:16:02
 
Looking at possibly switching out the bars I have and have questions about what will fit.

I know the stock drag bars on my 05 are 1"

Found these "Chubby" Z-Bars on eBay and they state the grip section is 1" so do you think they would fit?

From the widest outside point of one bar mount to the widest point on the other is just a bit more that 5 inches. You could take a file to the mounts.

The bar clamps have to fit inside the 5" in the center of the bars.
Take a measurement.

Thanks for those replies, does the 7.25" give enough room for the controls/grips?

Here, print this out, because it sounds like you don't have anything to measure with.  Grin

Speaking of bars, anyone ever taken the buckhorns off an ls650 and replaced the drag bars on an s40. Leaveing the risers from the s40 in place to give a lil more pullback and rise? If so, got pics?
Of course the control cables will have to be replaced im sure.
