Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Apico Performance Trials Handlebars are designed for straightforward installation as an OEM replacement. Ensure your existing triple clamps and handlebar mounts are compatible with 28.6mm (1 1/8") diameter handlebars. Use the laser-etched alignment guide on the bar to find the center position. If desired, use the cutting guide lines to trim the bars to a narrower width using an appropriate cutting tool. Mount your existing controls (throttle, clutch, brake master cylinder) and ensure all cables have sufficient slack. Tighten all clamps securely according to your motorcycle's service manual.
Compatibility: These handlebars are specifically designed for trials motorcycles. Confirm that your motorcycle's control perches (throttle housing, clutch lever perch, brake master cylinder) are designed to fit 28.6mm handlebars. Older or different discipline bikes may require adapter clamps.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the handlebars, clean them regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the anodized finish. Periodically check that all mounting hardware remains tight.
