Easton EXP 1-3/8" bars
These bars are sick! When I first opened the all the boxes from Easton/Bell Powersports it was like christmas all over again! In the complete set up you get your choice bend of bars (they now have many different bends to compete with all the other brands out there, unlike last year), the style of clamps made specifically for your bike (you can also choose different offsets for some), the heavy duty hardware kit specifically for your bike, and finally your choice of soft, medium or hard compound grips (these grips come in a kit with grip donuts and grip condoms so you dont get your grips greasy and oily during those nasty times).
When installing these bars you start by completely takin off all of your controls and components that are connected to your stock or old handlebars, then since you will be replacing the clamps as well, you can just take off your old clamps and leave your bars connected (this way you can make a quick buck at the track as well when some goober wads it up and needs a new setup, there ready to slap on). Then install new clamps. The clamp kit comes equipt with a handy dandy 3/8ths drive allen-socket to fit the handlebar mounts. When alligning the bars to your liking it wont be hard at all to line them puppies up because Easton has made plenty of degree marks for that reason. Then slap all your controls and your new grips on and ride!
The things I personally like about the setup is the 8 bolt handlebar mount system, confortable bends, and the self assurance that I am definatley gonna have a hard time bending these bars!
