low rise handlebars

[Flash-FX]

Here's what I've been running for a while now...no problems so far. It took like 5 minutes to get used to. The E-13 mounting brackets move the bars forward about 3" without hacking up the pole (my 2nd option). Yes, the downhill bars are thin, but seem to be way more rigid than the stockers that break after a few rides.

They are mounted on a Umi steering plate, trimmed down.

Those don't look like low rise to me.. just 3* fat bars or something similiar. But if it works for you.

What's the rope setup in the 2nd pic where your stock pad would bolt on?

That maybe the best, but there's nothing wrong with looking for a cheaper alternative for those of us on a budget.

Found it, thanks.

OK...Perhaps this low-rise handlebar test is just another part of the "FULL CIRCLE ENGINEERING*" adventure. But for now, it seems to work pretty good. The center of the bars is re-located closer to the pivot point, which makes steering seem more natural, verses the standard "swing", that originates from way back when....the Kawasaki 440 days. These bars are considered to be low-rise (see new pics). I'm not trying to sell anything here but I'd thought some folks might be interested in experimental options. This is the "low rise thread"....right?

E13 mounts- $76.99

And about that rope, it's the attach point of the limit strap...Simple and it works good too.


* "Full Circle Engineering" is when you try to re-invent something and it doesn't work out, then you go back to stock.

looks liker a pretty cool setup,but close to the cost of most mx adapters and bars

Found some 7/8 center riser bars that might be worth trying for those interested.

Don't know the center spacing, so you might need to call to make sure they fit the clamps on whatever turn plate you are using.

I just picked up these trim and throttle levers for $14.40 each

Those first ones look decent especially for the price. One thing might be worth mentioning again is that mosts' preference would be to have a bar with no rise/sweep, whatever the term. Some of the ones I researched made awkward wrist angles in different pole positions. The RRP and new Blowsion are zero degree in any position.

anyone got a rrp steering system on xmetal pole? i hope it works

 

[masterblaster]

thats alot of money for cro mo bars,you want the thicker alum material for salt water use and strength

[Idok]

this style will also work for risers..

it has the single piece clamp design with tapered bars..

 

[masterblaster]

i remember those from back in the day,pretty far from the pivot though,longer pole shorter plate taller bars is the hot setup

 

[FyrHazard]

I love the look of those pro-taper style bars. That's now on my to-do list. thanks for the pics everyone!
