Title: Renthal 758
Post by: Peasy on 25 March 2016, 12:14:53 pm

Please could you share any pictures of the renthal 758 bars on your gen 1? I know they're very similar to the standard bars but would like to see them actually on a gen 1 please.


Thanks
Lewis

I left mine as they came, so a bit wider than stock, also fitted with Oberon stainless bar ends as Renthal ones were too light.

I have the 758's and GYTR raisers like Tmation, and love this combo with the exception that you can't drop the yokes down the forks as much as I'd like as the bars are lower with the GYTR's and get in the way. The 758's are the most popular replacement for the Gen1 slightly lower and wider which is a good thing IMHO as you are able to put a bit more weight over the front and counter steering (or positive steering as I believe it is now called) is a tad easier to control.
