Title: What is the best, cheap handlebars?
Post by: GoateeChicken on October 14, 2009, 06:50:50 PM
So, yeh, I crashed my bike, and I am looking for a good cheap set of handlebars...
Seeing as I have to replace the handlebars anyway now, I would love a more aggressive riding stance than the stock handlebars, but not TOOOO much more as to be a complete sport feel.

Any opinions on the cheapest bars? Or even if there is a way to weld a custom bar?

Do what I did and make some new bars.  prett easy and that way you can get the exact feel that you want.  I used an oxyacelalene torch to heat up my tube and bend it, but a Burnz O Matic will work too. cause ive used one of those before as well.  I grinded all around my new bars and am gonna put a clear coat on to keep the shiny grind marks now my bars look sweet. ill take a pic tommarow.

Niiiiiiiiiiice..
I tried out some sport clubman bars today, and they didn't clear the tank...
Did anyone ever do a write up on different sets of handlebars?
