Flexxbars are great but not for everyone.

Okay, I sold the little bugger. Now I have exactly $400 in my sweaty little hand (metaphorically). However, I need to repair the frame (lower roller mount) and replace chain and sprockets before I get too far. Ugh. However, these are on my (short) list of improvements.

Can't wait to hear more about them, plus I REALLY like the exchange policy.

I hope U buy the bars and barkbuster kit and let us know your opinions. But will understand if not, being that money is tight here too.

I have problems with my hands,forearms and elbows. The Flexx bars have greatly extended my riding career to say the least. Almost pain free after a hard ride now. Work on the other hand, not so much. :/

They seem to hold up exceptionally well. Check out this thread I started over at ThumperTalk...

Well I just ordered a set for my '13 KTM 250SX. I'm hoping to ditch my KTM HPSD system in favor of this to reduce weight and complexity.

Besides, they just look trick!

The more I learn about composites the more I like aluminium. (A saying from aircraft design)

Rick, did you get the bars?

Not quite yet. Strongly considering. I bought the BRP elastomeric damper sub-mount thingy. That plus extra-rubbery Oury grips and the Twisted-E bars, I won't have any feel at all for the freakin' bike.

Hey rick,

doug at TE strongly advised me to not use the bars with the rubber brp rubber sub mount. Something about stressing the bars at their mount. I advise giving him a call. I was going that way until brp took forever to provide. So I canceled. I find the bars alone are enough.
