Title: Bikemaster superbike bars.
Post by: respite on May 26, 2008, 09:33:05 PM
I swapped out the stock bars for the bikemaster superbike bars. I cant seem to get the top brackets that actually hold the bar on to meet the bottom brackets. The gap is 2-3 millimeters. Bars seem to be clamped down tight. Went for a 20 minute ride to see how they feel, and it seemed solid. I should have taken a good look at the stock bar before i pulled them off.

Stock bars are so thin, they squish a hair when clamped down.
Cool.

so what's the verdict on them after a couple of weeks of riding?  Have you had any problems with the gap between the brackets?  I'm trying to decide between superbike and clubman bars.
