FAQs

Are these handlebars compatible with all trials bikes?

They are designed as an OEM replacement for many trials bikes. Compatibility depends on your bike's existing triple clamps and control perch sizes, which must accommodate 28.6mm diameter bars.

What does '6.0" / Extra High' refer to?

This refers to the rise or height of the handlebars, indicating they are an extra-high profile designed for trials riding ergonomics.

Can I cut these handlebars down if they are too wide?

Yes, the handlebars feature cutting guide lines to allow for adjustment to a narrower width if needed. Ensure you use a proper cutting tool and smooth any rough edges afterward.

What is the material of these handlebars?

They are made from durable materials, featuring an anodized red finish with sandblasted texture and polished areas.

Do these handlebars come with a crossbar?

The product description does not mention a crossbar, and they are typically designed without one for trials use.

How do I clean the anodized finish?

Clean with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to preserve the finish.

What is the benefit of the laser-etched guide?

The laser-etched guide provides precise markings for easy and accurate centering and alignment of the handlebars during installation.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel loose after installation.

Re-check and tighten the handlebar clamp bolts on the triple tree. Ensure the handlebar is properly seated in the clamps and that no debris is present.

Controls do not fit onto the handlebars.

Verify that your controls are designed for 28.6mm (1 1/8") diameter handlebars. If not, you may need to purchase compatible controls or specific adapters.

Anodized finish appears faded or damaged.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning. Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Protect the handlebars from prolonged exposure to harsh elements if possible.

Handlebar alignment seems off despite using the guide.

Manually check that the front wheel is pointing straight ahead. Ensure the steering stem is not binding. Re-center the handlebars using the guide and re-tighten clamps.

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.
