FAQs

Are these handlebars suitable for motocross bikes?

These handlebars are specifically designed for trials motorcycles. While they might fit on other bikes with 28.6mm clamps, their geometry and intended use are for trials riding.

What does '6.0" Extra High' refer to?

'6.0"' refers to the rise of the handlebar, indicating its height from the clamp center to the grip area. 'Extra High' denotes a significant rise, common in trials setups for leverage and control.

How do I clean the sand-blasted finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

Can I use these with standard 7/8" handlebar controls?

No, these are 28.6mm (oversized) handlebars. You will need controls specifically designed for 28.6mm handlebars.

What is the benefit of the titanium material?

Titanium offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making the handlebars strong and durable while remaining lightweight, which can improve motorcycle handling.

Do these handlebars come with a crossbar?

This specific model is described as having a 28.6mm diameter, implying it is a standard fat bar without a crossbar. Please refer to product images or specifications for confirmation.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need metric wrenches or sockets appropriate for your motorcycle's triple clamp bolts and control clamps. If cutting the bars, a metal saw is required. Always use a torque wrench for final tightening.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars won't fit standard clamps.

These are 28.6mm oversized handlebars. Ensure your motorcycle is equipped with compatible 28.6mm clamps. If not, you will need to purchase compatible clamps.

Alignment seems off after installation.

Double-check the laser-etched alignment guide on the handlebar and ensure it is centered in the clamps. Re-adjust and torque fasteners accordingly.

Anodized finish appears dull.

Clean the handlebars with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the anodization.

Difficulty cutting handlebars to custom width.

Use a proper metal cutting saw (e.g., hacksaw with a fine-tooth blade, band saw) and ensure the cutting guide lines are followed precisely. Wear appropriate safety gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These handlebars are designed as an exact replacement for OEM parts on compatible trials motorcycles. Ensure your motorcycle is equipped with 28.6mm handlebar clamps.

If customization is desired, use the provided cutting guide lines to trim the width using appropriate tools. Torque all fasteners to the manufacturer's specifications.

Compatibility:

Primarily designed for trials motorcycles. Verify that your motorcycle's triple clamps and controls (master cylinders, levers) are compatible with 28.6mm (oversized) handlebars. If you are unsure, consult your motorcycle's service manual or a qualified mechanic.

Care:

Clean the handlebars regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, especially on the anodized and polished surfaces. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness.
