More sweep back, OEM mounting and come Pre drilled... I was looking a them because I want the clip-on sweep but want to retain the stock triple so I can mount a direct bolt on steering stabilizer.

No. Those are really cool!

a search of the accessories and mods board reveals 2 pages of results, just a fyi.  Are you running a new or old monster?

i have those on the S4R.  visually, much better than the stock magura motocross bars.
functionally, they're not much different from the stock position.  if you want the
clip-on geometry, get the clip-ons.

They're lower than OEM but not clip-on low...

A good compromise if you ask me.

Bacon-junkie had 'em on Rosie .... some other members have them too

Ya I ran a title search and got 3 threads with Suburban In the title prior to makin the thread. One had great pics.

Looks like I'll be getting them, 1" lower then stock and a few inches more sweep without all the hassle of clip-ons and I can still get a direct bolt on stabilizer for the top.

Thanks guys.

I have a 2009 Monster 1100S BTW

I have the M3 on my 696.  I like them a lot.  FYI, you cannot have your windscreen (bikini fairing) still on with this unless you modify it a bit.  The bars' shape interferes with it.  I was a bit sad when I had to remove mine, but once I switched to just the cover, I liked the look a lot better.  If you have any questions, let me know.

This is correct.  They don't sweep as low as clip-ons do.  I agree that it's a nice compromise.  They definitely look a lot cooler and are a lot stronger than the stock bars too.

Thanks. How was the brake line?

Also just trim the fairing a bit or what? I'd also like to keep that, really feel it's better on the highway with it on.

I think the M3 has a longer middle section then the M4, I'll also email the company to see if they know about the fairing issue and if it's an issue with the M4 also, really hard to tell looking at pictures.


Thanks for the reply man.

I didn't have any issues with any of my lines.  I kept everything the way it was before.  The only thing I found is that the clutch side hole was lower than the stock position.  So it changed the position of those controls a bit.  It could have just been mine.  You can always just cut the nubs off anyway and put a little electrical tape down.

As far as the fairing issue:  I posted a comparison pic.  If you compare the bends in both bars, you will see why there is a conflict with the M3's.  The bend sweeps forward way more than the stocker.  The distance between the bar and the gauges is less.  You can see the suburban bar pic doesn't have a windscreen in it, but by looking at the two side by side, I think it gives you a better idea.

If I remember correctly, my guess was that just a small notch in both sides of the fairing would solve the problem.  You said the M4 looks like it has a less wide middle section though, so maybe it would be different for those (not sure).  I'm sure it would be pretty easy to cut the notch though and make it look clean with a dremel or something similar.  It's the pointy end of the

One thing to consider is that if you look at their website pictures, they are using risers on the m3 and m4 version (They also don't have the windscreen on).  That may make a difference.  I am running the stock ones though and I didn't want to raise the handlebar up (if anything, I wanted to lower it).



I remember I was confused about whether I would have issues when I was looking to buy mine.  There wasn't enough information out there, so I hope this helps you and others looking at these bars.  I actually bought mine used.  I'm really satisfied with my purchase.
