| Re: renthal bar's The only thing i would say is if you dont chop the ends off, you will have a slightly longer pipe than orginial (problem only if you weave between traffic)
Other than that, its a really nice mod esp as you can get different colours to match the bike. |

| Re: renthal bar's You can get them over here in the UK, might have to get them sent via mail order or similar from either eBay, or on RENTHAL :: WE BUILD CHAMPIONSHIPS...
The bar ends you can get them from there, or again get them sent from the Uk over using the site previously mentioned by someone. |

| Re: renthal bar's These are the Renthal ultra lows.
If you have a Cycle Gear store in your area, they can order them for you. |

I highly recommend drilling the new bars to accept the locating pin.
Grinding the pin off will let the throttle assy. twist.
Don't worry about the integrity of the bars after drilling. It's a small hole & won't harm a thing.
Just install your controls & test fit to find a comfortable setting for everything. In-out grip position, clutch-brake position, etc.
If you have to cut them down about a 1/2" or so,do it first, then drill for the locating pin.
Put a little mark on it with a marks-a-lot type marker. Then, position the throttle where you want it, & give it a little twist and an in & out motion, to scribe an "x" if you will, to create the drill center.
Drill,mount, & your done. |

| Re: renthal bar's These are TAG bars for a KX80, you don't need to cut them off.
The bars for the smaller dirt bikes are already shorter but just as strong.

| Re: renthal bar's Do the hand grips hit the tank at full lock? This would be my main concern. |

| Re: renthal bar's no, they don't even come close, plenty of room as shown in this photo with the steering locked left.
