Narrow flat bar recommendations

rwm1962 · Jan 7, 2019

Looking at a build on a 2002 Orange P7. From what I can see wider riser bars were well established by this time.

I'd be using this for commuting & have to pass through several anti motorcycle gates. With a 560mm bar I can get through without stopping.

Was there any quality narrow bars still being made in 2001/2? If so could anyone recommend any for me to look out for idealy black & to suit a XTR build from that time period?

Thanks

Ritchey spring to mind. Many were longer but it's easy to lop a bit off each end.

Thanks.

Would Eastons like this also be that sort of vintage?

Anything in 31.8 is later in my view. But EA series were definitely available.

Yeah, i think 31.8 was later. Plenty of easton bars with 25.4 clamp area though and plenty narrow bars with slight rise.

I think with wanting a 560 width you will probably end up trimming most bars.

Just type in 25.4 bars on ebay, loads to choose from.

Thanks. I'm seen a few of the Easton EA bars with Hope mini's on so a good indicator. I just don't want to get something too early as I'd like the bike to be period correct.
