Flexx Bars

Gets tall with that pad over the damper. Too bad I hate submounts, like you too I guess. Think I'd have to loose the pad so I could adjust the damper.

GMP, if you would like to run the pad and adjust your damper you could drill a hole in the pad cover and foam for a hose to run through. Slip the hose over the adjuster knob and wire tie it. Then use a plastic adjuster star on the top of the hose to adjust the damper as needed while riding. Typically this is an acceptable solution to this problem. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Cole

Cole,

I'm a tech guy so always asking questions and thinking about different ways to solve problems. Did you guys ever think about a different profile cross member(s) to keep the height down? I realize it would not be a flat stamping or forging like you have now. Likely a mfg. cost issue. Not a criticism, all is good and thanks for contributing.

Thanks for thinking of new ideas GMP. We've experimented with different ways of routing the crossbars with limited success. There are so many components and set ups to take into account. Even now some of the original GPR dampers knobs still touch the crossbars if the rider adjusts them in certain positions. We've gone around the front and back of the damper but it limits the amount of adjustability. The damper crossbars are a continual work in progress. Input is always appreciated!

Today I mounted a set of these bars on my bike. I hope I won't regret it. Looking to make it the long haul. Every little thing helps. They are the Enduro Hi bend. They are still 3mm short of my MSR Freestyle bend bars, but hopefully that won't bug me too much. I've never ridden a set and am going strictly off of the reccommendation of Bob Reinen at Cycle Buy. Fingers crossed. I squeaked when I put down the cash, paying full retail for the most expensive set of bars I've ever seen, when I've never even tried them is a risk for sure.

How much do they weigh compared to a stock bar?

[roostafish]

Negligible weight difference. I was told they were heavy, they are not. Chilly White loves them, Kevin Rookstool is using them. Good indication they work. Bob Reinen at Cycle Buy convinced me to try them. If you fill out the registration card, you can replace them at half cost if you ruin them.

[gasgasman]

They weigh about 3 lbs. Can't even tell while riding.

Do you guys think the enduro bend with standard crossbars will clear a top mount Motosportz damper? The MotoSportz is low profile, would be nice to avoid the higher damper crossbars if possible.
