fasst co flexx bars link (http://www.fasstco.com/html/flexx_bars.html)

they seem like a sweet deal but 299 for some bars is a little steep but if they worked it would be worth it

Yea man thats a bit steep . I wreck alot and unless they guarantee them for life i can bend alot of 30$ bars . I ride real hard and I'm starting not to wreck as much so maybe one day.

I had them on my CRF. Great bars. I miss them. And yes, they work! Worth EVERY penny!

Wish I never let them go now.

Yeah...........that's my next mod.

I have them and yes they work. I would give up my steering stabalizer before I ever thought of getting rid of the Flexx Bars. Wrecking isn't a problem, you can totally replace parts of the bars if you need to; not replace the whole setup. JIM

That's a good question....:confused:

These things are totally adjustable, not only the amount of flex, but the bar sweep, height, etc. They honestly take the vibration out of the bars to rider. I wonder why the pro's don't run them.....Jim

With all the different parts, are they still a rigid stable bar? Or is there some slop?

Im pretty interested in them, but it would be hard for me to throw 300$ at fasst for something ive never experienced. But i might hafta:devil:

maybee someone from fasst co would get smart and send a set to local dealerships so us not so 300$ handlebar rich people could at least feel them on a bike. the better dealers would even let you ride it............................ wishful thinking but mayybbbeee

No slop...you can adjust how much they flex. You can change out to different stiffness bushings, etc. How much you tighten these bushings changes the degree of flex. These bars have almost completely taken arm pump away, and I used to get it bad. Jim

I agree 110%!

He's right guys! You can ride harder---faster---for LONGER with these.

I want some sooo bad. I didn't know you could adjust the sweep. That make me want them even more! They are pretty expensive, but if you think about it they are like having every bend handlebar imagineable.

Just bought some only rode around the house with them a little with the med. bushings in it.....feels great.........racing this weekend will let you know.........If you go to the GNCCs the guy that does the no stall clutches sells them for 250 and has one on display so you can push on it. I will be a good test dummy since I have had 2 shoulder operations and I need all the help I can get:eek2:

i really wanna try those bars, the 300 bucks is a bit high for bars but it sounds like its worth it

I was talking to a guy at the Rausch GNCC and he had a set that ways given to him. He said they were nice but if you roll the bike you gotta send the bars back to make sure there are no stress cracks. I don't know if it's true or not but with as much time as my bike spends on it's bars I would never be able to ride.

Raced with them last weekend loved them. On a 450R the bike bend that I have seemed a little low but I have a plus 1 Houser stem on the way to take care of that. I ran the yellow rubbers in it (med.) and have a set of blues coming(soft).
