I don't know how easy it would be to cleanly drill through the CF to mount up the controls for your Monster. If it is doable, that would be a clean mod - how much lighter are they than stock bars?

I've posted weights for these somewhere on the site, they are 1 ounce more than the stock magura bars.  They are carbon wrapped aluminum btw, drilling will be easy.

I was going to order them, however I couldn't find specs on the pull back/up so I passed.

H'mmmmmm.  Carbon fiber that *adds* weight.  I guess it's OKAY to paint that carbon fiber, right?

What a coincidence!  Those pics are originally from Maximum-suzuki.com.  A guy on there blinged/modded his Bandit 1200S into a naked bike.

I feel a dumb question about to erupt from myself....

Reducing weight... that's cool.

Reducing strength? Wait a second...  Grin

Parts like this make realize CF really has become the sportbike equivalent of chrome on Harleys. It's pretty, but often as not, it for form rather than function.

Agreed. . .

But do you really think they meant to convey their bars are weaker?  I bet they're the same as any.  They just look like CF.
