New Fasst Flex Bars Installed

[2000_mx_banshee]

Hey Folks,
Just installed new bars. I am waiting for a +2+1 LSR anti vibe steering stem and a set of spider grips. HURRY UP UPS! :grr: As you can see my throttle cable is not installed, it was too short and will definately be too short with the new stem. I'm going to order a +4 or +6, I'm to sure yet have to do some measuring. It looks like my Acerbis Rally II handguards are going to be a sinch to mount. I'll keep you updated with pics as things come in an get installed.

Well, bar pad cover ....same difference. Not that it matters anyways just pointing it out. I'm anal like that with my quad lol everything has to be just "so".

Is that the atv bend?

Is it me or is the length of the bars a lil longer?Looks like they made them longer for people with handguards.

Hey guys,
These are 32" dirt bike bars and not 31" ATV. These are 32" dirt bike 14 degree sweep. I think they look wider in the pictures cause of the angle and close up of the shots, your right they do look wider in the pic but its not like that in person. The are only 1/2 an inch longer on each side than any other bar.
The ATV bend are a lot taller bar, similar to a stock ATV bar. I think(not exactly sure on the number) that they are ABOUT 1 to 2 inches taller. The dirt bike bars shown here are a lower profile. Since I am installing a +2 LSR stem I ordered the low profile or else my bars would be like... I don't know, way too tall. I am 6 foot tall and need the extra height but the ATV are real tall. If you look at the pictures on the Fasst web site they only show the Dirt bike bars, so if you order the ATV bars you would be very surprised when you see them.
This is of course all a matter of preference. If you run most any aftermarket bar now like TAG fatbar you would want the dirt bike profile. I guess it is the terminaligy that is messed up.
The extra inch in width is real nice for installing Acerbis hand gaurds, the Rally II's will bolt right on perfect, all that is needed is a spacer to extend out the mount at the pivot about 2 inches, but it lines right up. I read all these guys having a ***** of a time mounting handquards and saw some pretty ugly mounts, but mine will be a sinch.
I'll post some pics as soon as it is done.

ya, which spider grips did u decide to go with, i love the slt slimelines :macho

Same man, SLT in Titanium. I have never used them, I have ran scaott's, 909, and Renthal. From what I hear the Spyders are amazing and lessen blisters (A big problem of mine on the track), the downfall that I have heard is that when they get real wet and muddy they are kinda slippery. Any feedback welcome.

black plastic would make that thing just that much cooler......Nice bike.

i love them, great grips, if you have a problem with the wet/slippery issue then you may want to try the A3's, they are great for the mud
