Bar mounts which hole

[peanutsracing1]

hi all, i have a gg ec200 i am 5,6ft tall and am not sure which hole to put the bar clamps in, front or back? i race, if that makes any difference.

There is no right or wrong, use whatever position feels more comfortable. At 5'6" it could go either way, try both.

Also, the clamps are not symmetrical, so you actually have a choice of 4 positions.

clamps dont fit the rear hole, bolt to big, and in the front the bars hit the fork tops because iv droped them through 18mm, i dont want to lower the forks, im thinking of making rear hole bigger but will talk to my dealer to see if he has a different clamp.

Thats weird, is it a used bike? Sounds like the front holes were drilled to accept different bar mounts like BRPs with larger bolts.

If you like the rear position, you can go with GG OEM clamps in the rear holes.

I have an older BRP top clamp for WPs/Zoke 45mm Shivers with fatbar mounts that locate the bars just rear of the fork centers. This is OK for a shorter rider. It has a damper mount/bar clamp and Fastway pinch bolt mounted handguard mounts. I don't need it, if you think you'd be interested let me know.

im going to drill the holes out, it only needs a small amount taking out.

GMP, does the damper mount over or under the bar in that setup you have?

Hi! As far as I know, There in europe almost every top mx and endurorider put their handlebar clamps to rear hole.
This been told by to former many time enduro wolrdchampion and by some mechanic who's been working with many top rider's.
The handlebar should be always behind the front fork's center line.
If you ride your bike with handlebar which is mounted very front, your bike's front end will be very unstable when you ride on the soft terrain, for example a soft sand.

Make a test and you will notice it!
