Can someone please learn me as to why no one seems to
make a set of carbon fiber bars for motorcycles in general.
I have been using carbon bars on my XC/Free ride mountain
bikes for like 10 years now without a failure, and they certainly
take way more abuse than that of a motorcycle. The vibration
dampning the CF gives is truly night and day, and they are just
as strong, if not stronger than aluminum. Cost can't be an issue
because people will buy them no matter what they cost, look at
all of the people buying CF fenders just for looks ?? Carbon bars
would actually be useful. If someone knows where I can get a set
for my 696 please give me a link.
Thanks!
This is a great question. Although I have never taken off a set Ducati controls it is my understanding you have to drill into the bar to keep the control from turning. I wouldn't want to use a carbon bar on my bike if i had to drill holes in it. I have seen them break on mountain bikes due to being clamped to tight. Unlike aluminum, carbon does not bend; it just breaks!
