What Handlebars?

nevermad · 04-26-2010, 11:50 AM

I need new handlebars and before buying an OEM pair I thought I would ask for opinions.

I've got PhatRisers II and don't really want to change out cables.

Any suggestions on where to get them OEM or otherwise would be appreciated

Thanks!!

If you order bars about four inches longer than stock you can get rid of your risers if you want to.

What's up with your old bars? Did you bend them?

Yeah...I did bad things to my bike. After many many years of good behavior I laid it down and took a nice beating along the left side.

The bars aren't very bady bent but I don't want to be yanking on them and making assumptions about which elements may be straight and which may be bent.

I figured that I would change them out with all the replacements that are happening. I posted a WTB for many left-side surface items last week.

I"m looking for recommendations on supplier of aftermarket bars. It doesn't appear that many Nomad riders buy bars...just risers.

I don't know of a particular brand of bars , but there are a lot of styles and sizes to choose from.
JP Cycle, Dennis Kirk, etc all have a wide selection.
Id see if they have one thats made of larger diameter tubing than the stock bars. I think it would give the bike a more solid feel.

Take a look at this site for comparisions.

If you might check with a local independent custom shop if you have one in your area. The one I go to always seems to have some stock bolt on parts around from accessories he has put on for customers.
Thanks for your time
