    Track or Motocross or MotoX Bars?

    If I was going to put motocross style bars on my 1000, how wide do they need to be? Any tips?

    I think most are about 30".

    A lot of people here using the Bikemaster Euro, Daytona or Superbike bend bars. I have Daytona's but had Euro's on my 1000G

      I have run superbike and daytona bars on my 850G. I prefer the daytonas. More rise and pull back to let you sit back a bit.

            Do you need risers too? Or is that a stock set up?

              That's a modern upside down front end. They would fit on stock GS Triple as long as you get a 7/8" bar not a fat bar....

                  Well, I was going to post a pic from my iPhone, but it won't let me. I'll keep trying.

                    Or, maybe it will just take its sweet time & then post it sideways...

                      I just ordered a set of Daytona bars. If I don't like them, I'll swap them out later this year. I've spent quite a bit in the last week & it doesn't even move yet!

                        I have a 34" inseam and the Renthal 754 is a great bend and a awesome site to choose a bar from. A little wider also so you get some leverage on the bars,got them on my Speed Triple and its like having power steering

                          Ok, thanks. I think I will be getting a set of Renthal bars someday, but for now, I just want to get it on the road.

                          Thanks
