Most buyers on here are looking for a bar to suit enduro/trail riding or adventure/general riding. The standard bars on most of the old school bikes are useless, steel, heavy, with a low bend and too much sweep. We stock several handlebars from 7/8″ to 1 1/8″ Tapered bars to these newer Adventure bars ! If using high bar risers or the highest of bars you may need to reroute your cables subject to what bike you own. Below is an example of the useless bars that came on these older style trail and enduro bikes, old heavy steel, too low, too much bend, bin em ! Dimensions of standard DR/DRZ handlebars in mm – OEM W=787, H=76, R=50, S=72 ( example of DR/DRZ standard steel OEM handlebars ) NOTE – Handlebar dimensions are within the images. NOTE – generally no you do not need to get longer cables made !! most reroute their cables to free them up giving additional length NOTE – yes ALL handlebars are 7/8″ inch measurement at the grip end ! NOTE – DR/DRZ riders pays to add a new throttle tube at the same time of purchase, select your choice of grip and add some grip wire, you’ll find them listed under the same category ‘controls’ NOTE – highly recommend adding the best Heated Grips at time of purchase also, US Symtec Heat Demon Heated Grips, clearly listed under ‘lighting/electrical’ you will thank us for that advise later !
