Handlebars - wezdavo - 20-01-13

Can anybody recommend a lower handle bar for a 600 foxeye, somthing abit more sporty?

Pics with them on would be great Smile

Re: Handlebars - wezdavo - 20-01-13

Anyone??

Re: Handlebars - Dead Eye - 20-01-13

Not many people tend to change the bars - may be worth searching other topics on the forum as I think this has come up once or twice Smile

Renthal 758 bars

Re: Handlebars - unfazed - 20-01-13

You could try turning the orignals upside down first to see how it would look and feel . It would also let you determine what kind of clearance you would have with the fairing on full lock.

Re: Handlebars - Motorbreath - 20-01-13

FZ1's one doesn't fit. It is too low for the tank.

Re: Handlebars - stevierst - 20-01-13

+1 for the 758's, or ultra lows as they're also known. miles better than standard bars for the FZS 600 :b

Re: Handlebars - Yamazer-92 - 20-01-13

I was going to get some 758's myself until my mate got them on his bandit first and let me try them out, I know its not the same bike but the bars were definitely Renthal 758's and for me personally they felt awkward, the width was nice but they inverted a bit strange where you grip them I felt. Just thought I would be awkward for you  Big Grin

Re: Handlebars - stevierst - 20-01-13

I found them spot on for me as there wasn't quite as much sweep bending your wrists back. I've seen some Fazer 600's with road medium, and superbike lows which are a bit wider with similar sweep and height as standard I think.


Re: Handlebars - stevierst - 20-01-13

Have a look on here and see what you'd like compared to your standard bars.

Yeah that is a nice little table actually, clearly shows the differences of all of them. I do want to swap the standards, I am not a big fan of chrome and they are a little narrow for me personally but I dont know I just found the sweep of his a bit far even though on that table they are less than most of the others. I think I will just get them anyway and angle them a bit more upwards than his were.

Re: Handlebars - stevierst - 20-01-13

Superbike lows maybe? A bit more sweep than the ultra's, but not as much as the standard chrome things that I hate too! Wink

Re: Handlebars - trudd - 20-01-13

Doesn't really answer the question but I posted a picture in the following thread that shows the difference in sweep angle of my Renthals.

I take it the 754's or of a similar height to the oe bars?

Re: Handlebars - trudd - 20-01-13

Yes,  pretty close.

Thanks mate, got any pics??

Re: Handlebars - kebab19 - 21-01-13

Renthal 758's mentioned on the old site, mostly as fitted to the 1000 but then the fairing's the same as the foxeye 600 even if the risers arent:

Someone else preferred Renthal 754s instead:

I had Rental 789 'streetfighter' bars with brace fitted to my old 600 but they fouled the RHS fairing on fill lock




Re: Handlebars - stevierst - 21-01-13

I had a set of 790's that also fouled the fairing badly on full lock, it's a shame, because they were perfect for me on my Tiger 1050.

Here's a pic of my old red Fazer with ultra lows fitted.

I rolled them quite far back to make them cosy, and filed off most of the switchgear lugs so they still gripped the bars. I think mine 'just' touched on left lock, but then, my fairing wasn't exactly straight! :lol

Re: Handlebars - wezdavo - 21-01-13

Thanks everyone  Smile

Got the renthal 758 on order Wink
