28mm fat bars on my Gen 1 - stevierst - 27-01-25 So after much measuring, wondering and wrist aching I decided to fit a set of fat bars. Not because there was anything wrong with the 758's I fitted, but my wrists just don't get on with being so cranked back. I also had a BMW S1000XR last year, and that had wider and straighter bars that I never had any wrist ache with. (just an aching wallet ?) The bars are WRP America WD-AM001, and some cheapo fat bar clamps off ebay. Yes it had gone dark just as I was finishing up. ? RE: 28mm fat bars on my Gen 1 - Trebus - 28-01-25 Thanks for sharing. How is the access to the rebound adjusters on each set up? Mine is a pain with the GTYR risers with Renthals although think I’ve finally sorted the adjustment now.

Luckily the preload is set right, and the clearance is literally a rizla paper distance away. If it was going to contact the top of the reload screw, I was prepared to make some spacers out of 2mm aluminium sheet I've got knocking around. But here's the clearance. RE: 28mm fat bars on my Gen 1 - Trebus - 29-01-25 Looks similar to mine. I use a small drill bit to twiddle the rebound and can just about get a spanner on the preload. Now I’m sorted it’s fine but had a couple of years ‘experimenting’ with different springs / oil and finally Maxton internals. |
