Carbon bars

[NAKID]

I think what they mean by fatty is that, in general, aluminum bars have to be thicker to be as strong as steel, even though they can still weigh less.

Most bars are 7/8" in the middle, "fatty bars" are 1 1/8" in the middle and taper.

I'm running a bar that's nearly identical to this on my Hyper.

Love it.  And drilling for the controls was no problem.


On my old S4 I had a set of CF bars in my clip-ons that were pure CF with no aluminum core.

A low-side at Deal's Gap snapped one of them off.

Lowsides snap off even the aluminum ones.

Don't feel bad

Reducing weight... that's cool.

Reducing strength? Wait a second... 

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.

Surely "reduced strength" is an editing error.
Who advertises reduced strength as a benefit???
