Renthal bars.

…it’s defeated me so far.

Now Renthal produce about 100 (?) different bar bends and each type has a unique Renthal part number. O.K. Easy so far.

So when you have worked out (probably) what you want, where do you buy the bu**ers?

GB sites seem to think it’s o.k. to just list “Streetfighter” or “Trial” bars or “Road” bars, for instance. The better ones give some dimensions but never the bl**dy Renthal part number.

Is there a decent site for these things in the UK, or am I going to have to take my £50 chance with someone in Montana, or Idaho, or Macao?

Use some of your pension money and newly-found free time to go to Idaho in person to pick some out. Tell Mrs O you’re on a secret mission which you are forbidden to tell her about.

PS - Don’t go until after “Masqurade” in January

What can I say?

Borrocks?

B&C Express - http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/handlebars.html

Or if you know what you want then your local Hein Gerricke can order them in & it saves you paying the postage.

Just for once, a proper ending to a thread.

Thanks Pat .

New bars arrived today and they look about right for what I wanted. Very slightly higher rise, a lot less pull back. the proof of whether I got it right will be in the trying and riding. That’s a Boxingday job after the braided brake line arrives.

Then I looked at Renthal’s sticker on the pack.

Good to know I’ve just bought a pair of bars for one up from a bloody moped.
