Just so I understand you right, Pro Taper fat bars are much better then cheap knock off bars? I never would have guessed that...diymirage wrote:
It is my opinion that fatbars have a lot more strength then regular bars
now, I don't think ive ever had name brand 7/8th bars but some of the ones I had were thickwalled aluminum and they did not compare to the pro tapers

If you have the factory (or aftermarket) carbon steel bars and you are going to go to the trouble to replace them, then you should at least spend the extra $20 or so and get a set of aluminum bars. The steel bars can bend even in just a minor tip-over as you seem to have found out. The aluminum bars are much more durable and capable of surviving some pretty large impacts. A set of aluminum hand guards will also add some strength.Well I dumped my bike, and the handlebars are a little tweaked. Barely noticeable, but I notice.
I did a small write-up in the injuries thread about the wipe-out. Nothing serious.
I reckon I wanna get new bars. That should be easy to do right?
Plus I was considering some of those guards I see on some of your bikes. The ones that look like they are designed to protect the controls if the bike goes down?
Any concerns or things I should know about before I attempt to swap handle bars out?
Thanks folks.

Where's these rubber cones you guys are talking about?
