Baghira handlebar width ?

Postby cat » Sun Dec 11, 2005 3:09 pm

Someone please get me the width of the stock handlebars...? :)

I want to get TAG bars (I think the TAG rubber mount clamps that I used on my KDX will fit the Baghira), but I need to be sure that the cables and the brake line will be long enough.

Now I'll find that thread where phlat put Pro Tapers on and see if he mentioned the width / the bend. :wink:

Oh, good. The TAG CR Double Hi's are what I used on the KDX but here the height isn't necessary. .....ok, the TAG Cr Hi's are 10mm narrower than the Double Hi's - good. Thanks. ....ah...Pro Taper CR High is wider than the TAG ones and you had no problems. Good! :)

width height pullback
Pro Taper CR Hi 813 62 95
TAG T2   CR Hi 795 62 95
TAG T2   CR Dbl Hi 805 62 115
TAG T2   YZ 803 57 92

The stock bars must be quite wide - I must remember to measure mine - I need to check out the mounts, anyway.

I've got this spreadsheet with all the specs/bends (TAG, Pro Taper, Renthal, Magura) that I put together when I was selecting bars for my R100GS. (I needed high ones.)

hey, I also got a yella one! :-D

I measured mine when I went looking for some higher ones - the standard is 830 mm - the same as a set of Renthal Dakar ones!

My bars are now a good two inches taller - makes a world of difference!

I will only run out of ways of modify the Baggy when it weighs less that 100 kg and runs 100 bhp at the back wheel!!

Any problems with cables and switchgear? Don't like the bars on mine-I think they look and feel cheap (one of the only componants on the bike that does).

If the stock bars are 830mm [!] you won't have any problems with cables - because any bars you buy are not going to be as wide. Pro Taper, Renthal, TAG ... they range from 775mm for the 'woods' bars to 808...813, and the widest are the KTM bends 818 and 820.

hmh! I didn't notice that the bars were so wide - they felt fine.
