Fasst Flexx Bar and Trail Tech?

Heard a lot of good things about the Flex Bars in the mags. Thinking about it for Xmas present to myself. Currently use trail tech computer with billet protector that uses the two top handle bar pinch bolts. I was wondering if anyone has used the flex bars with that computer. I am concerned that the allen screws used to hold the billet protector and pinch the bar will stick out too much and interfere with the flex bar crossbar and pad.

Also interested if anyone has used the flex bars at all. Thanks,

Steve

I have a set on my 2002 220. I also have a trailtech but it is mounted differently. Homemade bracket. Not sure if the trail tech mount will interfere or not. I love the bars. They kind of spoil you. Now i dont want to ride my 05 because of the noticable increse of vibration without the fast bars. I now use a gps that mounts nicely on the Fasst bar pad. I can send you a pic or two if you like. Once ytou go FAsst, youll never go back.

Yep . . . Xmas present for the KDX. Just ordered the bars. Looks like I will need to make a bracket or something for the computer.

TopperHarley, if you could post a pic of your bracket that would help. Thanks,

Steve

Ummm, They didnt show me how to do that on the short bus that I rode in on. Maybe I can send another pic to vince and he can post it for me. I guess that would make me high maintenance. Guess I can put it in my gallery. I have figured that one out.

I just realized that you are on a WR. My home engineered bracket, bolts to the upper TT clamp in front where there are ar 3 or so sets of female threads. not sure if you have these on your WR. Which mount do you have. Looking at my 05 with the flat mount that attaches between the front bar clamp, appears it would work with the flex bars.

I should probably change my screen name. Sold the WR 450. I now have 2 KDX - one for my and one for son. My KDX has 05 KXF 250 forks and triple clamp. Scotts stabilizer with submount.

So . . . its pretty much the same setup as a KDX tripple clamp with 4 pinch bolts for the bars. Would like to see a photo if you can post one.

Thanks,

Steve

Good idea. That helps. Do you also use a GPS? Thanks for posting the pics. Just got my bars yesterday. Can wait to try them. What rubber color to you use? I was probably going to try the yellow medium first.
