Clip on handlebars
« on: December 22, 2012, 09:08:35 AM »
Hi everyone, I am a new member with several Brit 1930s bikes and have just bought a Honda xbr 500, does anyone know of a higher than standard rise clip on handlebar that will fit.
Regards John.

Hi John, Welcome to the Thumperclub.

If you are looking for something like a standard height bar instead of the drops, then the clip on bars from the Honda CBX550 will fit straight on - you can even use the existing cables! look on Ebay - usually around £25-30 a pair.

Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional!

Thanks for the help guys, I will look into them. I like the xbr but with a dodgy neck the standard bars are a bit too low.
