FAQs
What is the material composition?
These handlebars are crafted from high-strength 7010 T6 aluminum alloy.
Do I need new clamps for these bars?
Compatibility depends on your current setup; verify your motorcycle's handlebar clamp diameter against the specifications of the 749-02-BK model.
Can I use these for track racing?
While durable, these are specifically designed for road and street use. Track use may require different ergonomics and bar configurations.
How do I prevent corrosion?
The bars are already finished with an anodized protective coating, but keeping them clean and dry after riding in salt or wet conditions will prolong the finish.
Will these bars vibrate more than steel?
No, the high-strength aluminum alloy and specialized heat treatment are designed to dampen vibrations and provide a consistent feel.
Are these bars adjustable?
The bars can be rotated slightly in the clamps to adjust the reach and angle, but they are a fixed-geometry component.
Troubleshooting
Handlebars slipping in the clamps
Check that the clamp torque is set to the motorcycle manufacturer's specification and ensure no grease or oil is present on the clamping surface.
Cables are too tight at full lock
Re-route the cables behind the steering head or consider purchasing extended aftermarket control lines to accommodate the wider bar geometry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before mounting, ensure your motorcycle's handlebar clamps are compatible with the specific diameter of this handlebar model. During installation, use a torque wrench to tighten the clamp bolts to the manufacturer's specifications to avoid damaging the aluminum surface. When routing throttle cables, clutch lines, and brake hoses, ensure there is enough slack to accommodate the width of the bars at full steering lock to prevent binding. Care is straightforward: clean the bars periodically with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the anodized coating or introduce surface scratches that lead to long-term fatigue.
