Title: Green handlebars? Post by: DarkDucati on October 08, 2009, 06:29:39 AM Thinking about some front end changes (triples, fluid tanks, etc.), and am looking for some handlebar options. I've looked at Rizoma, Magura, and a few others but haven't seen anything in green. Anyone know of a manufacturer that has green bars?
I'm ok with the general dimensions of stock bars (i.e., not really looking for much change to how far they pull back, etc.), so something similar is preferred. Title: Re: Green handlebars? Post by: Ducatl on October 08, 2009, 08:33:47 AM I can't seem to find any but if you like the stock bars you could probably have them anodized or powder coated for the price of some decent bars...just somethin' to think about ;D
OR http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/ (http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/) sells a bar with a stock bend that you could get painted if you wanted less downtime. Title: Re: Green handlebars? Post by: DarkDucati on October 08, 2009, 09:00:25 AM Thanks. Yeah, I thought about the anodizing but figured it might cost too much, and powder coating would probably add thickness that would be an issue.
Painting might be an option, but not sure how good that would look. I did find this cool site about anodizing and even sells home kits (guy claims it's easier than you think) but again, the cost of setup makes it less attractive for just one project. http://www.focuser.com/atm/anodize/anodize.html (http://www.focuser.com/atm/anodize/anodize.html) I'm guessing there's not much demand for green bars, so maybe no easy options here. Title: Re: Green handlebars? Post by: RB on October 08, 2009, 09:41:29 AM powder coating would be the cheapest. In the case where you are concerned about thickness, just have the PC guy tape off that area. They have special tape for this, or they just remove the powder from that area. I have used a damp sponge to remove podwer from unwanted areas.
should cost no more then $30 US Title: Re: Green handlebars? Post by: damianS4RS on October 08, 2009, 12:43:29 PM Does anyone have pics of colored bars installed? The only ones I have seen are gold. I think painting them shouldn't interfere that much with the grips and such. Anyway, good luck.
