Premium Member pgeldz Posted September 15, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 15, 2014 I should know pretty soon if the Suburban Machinery bars will work. I have 3 different sets to try. I'll keep everyone posted on the results... - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlinhoss Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Not sure if any of you follow the FZ09 forum too but this thread popped up. There might be hope for Woodcraft clip on adapters on the FZ09. I thought this might interest some people looking for a back killing position. http://www.fz09.org/forum/13-fz-09-gear-accessories/4783-woodcraft-clip-ons-adapter-plate-2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member crazycracka501 Posted September 25, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 25, 2014 So, like an idiot, I am a little sick, not clear headed, and decided to play with my bike to get it on the new bike racks I just got. I dropped the bike and bent the handle bars on the throttle side. Felt like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-rGnMKszxg Please let me know a good alternative for better bars that will fit everything stock, I would really appreciate it. Make it stop!....Now make it go faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the ultimate solution for those wanting a more sportbike position. It's in the works right now and I'll know if everything fits in another week or so. Stay tuned... - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
able Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I have had a slew of handlebars on my FZ07 so far. Stock Bars (??) Ultra-Low Moto Bars ($58.99) DimeCityCycle.com's 7/8" Clubman bars (59.99) Drag Bar 7/8" (24.95) By far the best looking is the clubman bars, but without rear sets, the seat posture was too uncomfortable. Until then I have come to a medium with the Drag Bar from amazon. Absolutely wins all around on performance, riding posture, looks great, and is comfortable for my shorter arms. It provides the slight lean forward you need to roll on the throttle without the feeling of lifting the front end off the ground every time. Ill provide some pictures of the clubman bar, and will upload some pictures of the Drag bar tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromthecage Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Those drag bars are looking like an impressive option.... the woodcraft idea I'm kinda on the fence on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
able Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Ok, originally bought woodcraft clip-ons with 2" Risers. Without modification of the forks they were not an option. You would have to remove the forks or cut off the sleeve from the upper forks. I decided it was too much to hassle with. I then bought all the types of handlebars I could think looked good on the bike. The best I have found so far was the Drag bars. 25$ Can't beat it.

fromthecage Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 @able were those the universal clip-ons or a kit like the Ducati Monster kits that they are looking for with the FZ-09? And I'm soo digging the black drag bars..... I agree those clubman bars look seriously aggressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

able Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Tailtidy is the Yoshimira for FZ07, and the lights are from a company on amazon. I just searched LED Motorcycle Turn Signals. They came in a 4-pack for 12.99. They are super bright, but they are a bit fragile. The front right one was broken by a rock on the interstate. Edit: Also bought the Rizoma adapter plates for the turn signals. 15.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

able Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Install was easier than the clubmans, didn't have to loosen the throttle cable or brake lines. Slid right on and bolted down you might have a issue with one side, it seemed as if the bar end was slightly bigger than the rest, I just used a pair of needlenose pliers to hold the lever mount open to get it over the one end. Instead of drilling holes for the switch assemblies, I used a dremel to sand down the assemblies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trebec Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 How is the clearance as far as the tank and all of the cables on the drag bars? Just want to make sure they work well before I purchase them. Follow me on Instagram. http://instagram.com/trebec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minner Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Able, those drag bars look incredible! Thanks for sharing your work, you saved a lot of people a lot of time. Now I know I need to find something with similar measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusiphur Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I loved the one star review on those bars. Someone has a sense of humor (I hope...either that or he is dumber than a very stupid rock). That was funny. Since he put a 1 star, I almost think he was serious. How much of a height and position difference are they from stock? They look amazing.

evofzx Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Those are the low bars right. I wonder if streetfighter is even lower? Now when you ride do you have to lean forward some instead of sitting straight up? looks sweet btw. thanks jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjohnson Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 @able did you cut them down at all or leave them at stock width? I'm really liking how it looks! How's the feel? Like when ur riding and how does it change the riding position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjohnson Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 So yea I just ordered those drag bars lol. I've been looking at bars for a while and never really liked the options. Then I saw ables pics and winner winner chicken dinner boom click done. Now I wait lol. @able do you have any tips for the install? Any potential problems I may run into? Also are those just generic bar end mirrors? And how did you install them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
