Handlebar suggestions?

Post by snakedriver »

Hello folks, I'm a new member with an '87 CR500. My bike has bent bars, and I need a new set. I'm a novice rider, 72" tall and 190lbs. Does anyone have a recommendation for bars that work well with my bike? Thanks!

CR high bend

Post by GB1073 »

I run CR high bend Sunline bars on my CR500 AFC, I had CR high bend Rentahl bars on my 95 CR500 before converting it into the AFC.

I have been using Tusk ATV bars on my bike and have 2 sets of oversize Renthal CR highs I'd sell. $10 plus shipping.

I'd pick up a set of $10 CR high bars from Rhino, figure out what you like, higher, lower or just right before spending $400 on a set of flex bars, I've heard good things about them but personally, I'd rather not even try them and find that I can't live without. that's what happened with a steering dampener, well worth the money!

I'm a fan of the Windham bend myself, which are a little taller and a little straighter than the CR high.

Are you interested in parting with those Windham bend bars?
