I was at traffic light in London today and got nudged by the back of an rubbish collecting truck dropping me and the bike on my side, luckily nothing happen to me but that has bent the handlebar. From what I know I should not be trying to straight it and instead replacing it. (what do you think)


 

Does anyone has 9r for spare parts and are willing to sell or make a deal with for the handlebar? Maybe can suggest where I get buy one original or not is not important, it just needs to fit.

 

I'll post a picture later when I get home!


 

Many Thanks.

Glad your ok, I think I'd try and bend it straight and get a new set asap, don't know enough metallergy to advise any better.

Ladies / Gents,

 

I found the following parts for purchaing they look correct although eBay description mentions handlebar Lenker and I don't know if that is what I need!

and

http://www.moto-disc...ni-tdm-900.html

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum, feel free to move it if necessary.

 

PS thanks for the advise TDMick i am planing to do just that!

An ideal time to change to Renthals, more comfortable, and cheaper!

I just found this:

Is that what you mean? Would I need that cross bar in the middle as that is where I have my GPS and that cross bar is going to be in the way!

 

Many Thanks for your advise guys!

Many, including me, have the 755s, with bar risers, but maybe the 756s without bar risers would suit.

I wanted black, and they couldn't supply the 756s in black, so I got the 755s. You will either have to drill holes

for the control pips or shave the pips off, easy enough to do, I even managed to fit them! (cover the petrol tank

with something first!! Plenty on ebay, enter search for renthal 755 or renthal 756 and choose your colour.

Ladies / Gents,

 

I found the following parts for purchaing they look correct although eBay description mentions handlebar Lenker and I don't know if that is what I need!

 "Lenker" is just German for "handlebar". Looks about right.

Hi Alain, I got your note and many thanks for the offer, I'll see you later.

Chris Many thanks for dropping the handlebar on Saturday,  I have another one that I am picking up today for keeps and I will be happy to arrange a date that I can bring your one back as it was a very nice gesture lending a bar to me while I sorted another one out.

 

Speak to you soon.

i have used some renthal bar ends which use an expanding bolt system, they work

fine with my DL650 handguards (with a couple of large washers and a 13 mm plumbing

olive to hold the handguard in place at the end!) I also filled the bars with silicone to try

and eliminate any vibration.

Don't think it matters as long as you weren't braking any laws filtering is allowed, and anyway sounds like you were pretty much stationary, and he hit you.
