FZ8 Fat Bars
« on: 09 April 2016, 08:26:41 pm »
Just fitted some Rizoma Fat bars (30mm rise) to my FZ8.  Transformed the look and the feel.  I love em.


And I decided on a Lextek Titanium exhaust.  Love that too.

A white front mudguard would make that perfect

Nah......red is the colour for the anniversary edition.  I like it in red.  But I do wish it had the same colour scheme as my Fazers front mudguard.

I like the Red Mudguard, it starts off red on then goes to white/red with the red reducing as you go rearwards.

Pipe is a big improvement on the original

I think they both bikes look great - mine only came in black.

With the fat bars, is it the bars themselves that give the 30mm raise or the risers (or both)? What's the difference between the stock bars and these?
Porquoi moi?

The bars are called Rizoma 30mm rise bars.  The standard bars are quite a bit higher.  In effect, even though I have used fat bar adaptors, the bars are slightly lower than standard and that's how I like it and wanted it.


Thanks for the nice comments though guys.
