Got some to of Evil bay. I'm going to have to either buy shorter / different levers or cut the ends off and get replacement ones to fit for M.O.T time. Also crash bungs for the wheel spindles, the spindles seem to be solid right the way through, so will have to put a thread in them with long bolts

trimming the levers, or wider bars so you can move the clutch and brake in to clear. I run bark busters on the RM , and never have to cut levers, but on the baggy, I had to remove 1 inch or so.
I run the MSR guards, and they have lived through an asphalt crash with minor scratching.

| I'm using acerbis guards,not the bark buster ones though, which went straight on to renthal bars with no cutting of levers or messing about. |

size and bend are all preference. the CR high, and CR low are the 2 most common bends. I think I run a doug henry bend pro-taper, they are pretty straight with little pull back.
