Renthal Handlebars - Comparison

[Tony Nitrous]

My Bandit, BUSA, B-King and GSX1400 all have Renthals but for me it's the "Renthal 789 Streetfighter" bars.

They are a bit wider and a good compromise in height for me. Bars are a very personal thing but the 789's suit me fine. They just feel right.

I Just got the Renthal MX Fatbar "Street Naked" Handlebar ..
Dimensions are....
A-780, B-105, C-70, D-140, E-86, F-210, Perfect for me.

Street Low's for me.

I'm not very tall, and much prefer a forward lean to get some more weight over the front.

Street Low Dimensions
Dim A 766
Dim B 80
Dim C 50
Dim D 122
Dim E 50
Dim F 190

I've never had anything other than standard bars the bike came with 😳
Reach and overall comfort is fine 👍 however after 20+ years of riding it I'm probably just used to it now 😂

Exact same for me Chris. Stock bars n spacers. Did try 30 mm risers, didnt suit. Did you ever fit them Vlad?

[Fast1400]

I use Renthal Fatbar Street Low, with Pro Taper 40mm risers.
Helps keep my weight forward and closer to the front. Gives me better control and feel when pushing hard.
Also standard bars seemed waaaaay too high - gave me a back ache. Far too upright for my liking.

I book marked a post in the Australian GSX1400 about this...

Thanks to guys on here i ditched the standard bars.. chose a set of pro taper dirt bike bars and 60mm risers. Best thing ever.. so much easier to ride.. more comfortable.. straighter and feel more in control. Threw the windscreen out and now i thing she looks heaps better. If anyone is considering a bar mod... get onto it straight away. Wish i did when i brought the bike....

...It took me two weeks to decide. 4 bike shops... listening to 10 flogs that didn't now what they were on about then 2 hrs on ebay and bar websites. Hard work is done mate.. pro taper windham bend with 60mm riser straight onto the clamp. Use the modified rubber washers and cut off the lugs on the controls.. some new bar ends and had to use my standard rise bolts as the new ones were to big in diameter.. problem fixed.....$195 all up

One reply asked...

Hi Cameron. Did you have any problems with the brake, clutch, throttle and wire length? I've taken my bars off a few times and theses are very exact in length. Thanks. They look good.

He replied...

That was my biggest concern of the project. I thought i might of had some length issues as i wanted to go the full 800mm width of the new bars without cutting them. No one could answer my questions as all the bars are different bends and lengths. The pro taper windhams are a long bar but that suited my riding position. I had no issues at all with cable and hose lengths.

Everything fitted perfect. Only issue was you have to tap off the little plastic lugs on both the starting block and the indicator block as the original bars have holes drilled in them. I wasn't drilling the new bars as i had no idea what bar position i was going to be happy with at the start. Then the diameter of the bolts from the new 60mm riser was to big for the holes in the the triple clamp so i just used the original riser bolts which worked perfect. It took 3 rides yesterday to get the bar position right but that was only small adjustments. Seems perfect now. I cant recommend any more highly how much better it is.
