Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard 7/8-inch (22.2 mm) handlebar mount. When installing, ensure the bar mount bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications in a crisscross pattern to prevent stress concentrations. The positioning grid should be centered within the mounts to ensure even steering input. To maintain the finish, avoid using overly aggressive steel wool or abrasive cleaners. Instead, clean the handlebars with mild soap and water after each ride to remove mud and caustic fluids. Periodically inspect the cross-brace for any looseness and ensure the brace pad is securely attached to protect against head or chest impact.
