Renthal bars for FZS600

[positron]

Hi,

Recently I spent a day riding a FZ8 S around south of Spain. One of the things I noticed was the nice and wide handlebar on the FZ8, compared to my FZS600. Back on my bike this week, the handlebars feels cramped and right side is slightly out of alignment as well

I read here that you could get Renthal bars and with some chopping and changing, you would get it work well with the FZS600.

Does anyone have a Renthal bar used or spare for sale?

Thanks!

Renthals less than £30 delivered off ebay.

Yep, Renthal 758 ultra low are very good, had them on 2 of my Fazers. Cheap as you like on fleabay.

I've got Renthal Ultra low on my Speed Triple, because the original bars were too wide. They're a good comfortable compromise. Easy fit with the Triple's longer cables, but you need to check whether the shorter Fazer ones will stretch. You might need to drill some holes for lugs of course.

They fit straight on, although I think I had to re-route my throttle cables.

As for drilling, I wouldn't go there, it's very easy to mess it up! File off the locating lugs in the switchgear until they're almost flush, then wrap a layer of either self amalgamation tape, or zinc oxide tape around the bar and clamp them over the top until they're snug. You can adjust them then.

Thanks for the comments - I don't have a way to trim a new renthal bar, so I guess I was hoping against hope that someone has one already customized to their old FZS600, or breaking etc that I could just fit straight to my bike. Cheeky I know.

I will look at ebay and see. Thanks again for your thoughts!

Ive got the raask jotas on mine, adjustable in tonnes of ways but still hit the fairing at full lock

You don't necessarily have to trim the Renthals, I've always used the full size bars with no problems on all my bikes.
