We want to move our softbars from a Drr to a JB Mod. Will they fit as is? Just looking the mounting bolts look like they might be short for the JB stem. I am guessing someone has made this move before and can tell me.

Thanks,

If they don't bolt right up, Call Tom and he'll send you the correct lower bracket.....Bars are the same.... lower brackets are different for different applications.

Thanks Rocky....I will take them off and see today.

Maybe I missed this conversation but didn't Logans Can Am start off with a KTM 85? Now a CR85? Just curious since we have a CR85 in Andrew's JB Mod.

Oh boy, bit of a sore subject.....lol. Na, we did start out with the KTM but to many engine failures with noone having any parts at the track to fix it up was the main reason for the switch. Everyone runs cr85's....
KTM85/105 are known to have a bad crank lower bearing and they did. I guess after years of issue they finally fixed the issue in the 2013 85/105....but im not switching back. Lol

Makes sense. One of our dirtbike friends that race ktm 85's asked me if his son could try Andrew's YZ85 a couple months ago at practice one day. They had been on Cobra's and Suzuki's previously and he said they liked the KTM but had reliability issues and they were more expensive. They were looking at possibly switching brands. He also said that there was supposed to be a "fix" with the 2013's. I do know that when Andrew raced 50 and 65 dirtbikes there was a lot of orange at the line...and almost no orange now that he is on an 85.
