new school cruiser help

[motomagII]

guys just got new schopol cruiser and it feels a bit odd
bars are 26 by 5.5 and feel all wrong shape etc.
is there set cruiser bars that are same shape as normal bars in 6 inch rise please 28 wide is good
also whats the gearing most use on track its got 39x17 at moment

Gregster 39 x 17 is bang on, same as 44:16 on a 20".
A lot of proper cruiser bars are about 6 inch high and about 27 - 27.5 inches wide. Cruiser slams are nice, as are Fly Joey Bradford cruiser bars. There's a few cruiser bars around about 25.5" (too narrow) and also have too much back-sweep.

keep your eyes open for me john .

would alloy bars be bad idea fly racing do some bars from 3 inch to 6.5 inch rise sounds good

If you're doing any gating/jumping/manualling and hard riding I'd suggest not using aloominum bars based on my past experience (snapped CW cruisers bars on the gate). Unless NS aloominum bars are a heck of a lot stronger?

mmm struggling to fnd owt thats 6.00 or 6.5 rise john
may have to settle for 5.5 or 5.75 i like tall bars

[Gish]

if your wanting tall bars greg you will have to buy old school bars

[Jon The Bassist]

Spacers underneath and a top-loading stem would give you more height.

Greg, I would immediately email Chris Moeller directly and tell him that his 5.75 race cruiser bars are the wrong size, demand a 6.5 set be made tomorrow and sent for free to compensate you for your inconvenience and rising stress levels as a result of him not already producing them.


The bars that came on the Fit CR24 had a 6"+ rise if I remember correctly

I use S&M Gay bars on my Floval, widened to 29"

theres few completes with high cruiser bars just gotta find someone who has pair for sale (they probably changed em back to lower height ones lol)


i got top load stem and maximum spacers under stem .the stem is too long reach too but hey ho

try Diesel on here Greg, he has a 2011 OM Flyer and I think he swapped the bars out on it or Gish has some 6"x27" GT ones here
