Change from 7/8 to 1-1/8 bars and clamps.


Recommended Posts

So i want to put some 1-1/8 bars on my banshee. So im going to have to get a new upper and lower bar clamp to fit right?

 

Well i know how to get the top clamp off but how do i get the lower clamp thats attached to the stem off?

 

Also where can i pick i nice 1-1/8 bar clamp i need up?....Can someone point me in the direction i need to go to get one and instal it?

Look on Ebay for a trail-tech polished 1 1/8 bar clamp.I just bought one and pro-taper 1 1/8 bars with grips for 139.99 on ebay.Very nice clamp

 

 

Ok, but how did you get the old lower clamp attached to the steering stem off?

 

Do you have a close up pic of your clamp/bar set up or a link to it on ebay?

Well...i looked in my Clymers manual and it doesn't show how to take the bottom clamp off the stem.

 

But it doesn't look like it comes off unless i had some nasty press of something, so did you or does the new clamps just bolt onto the old lower clamp some how? Im kinda stumped on how it goes. :blink:

The clamp kit bolt to the lower mounts on the stock stem.. They dont come off you just bolt down ontop of them. My Tag T2 kit is the same as the trail tech.

 

Ok thanx for clearing that up for me.

 

I thought thats how it would be. :biggrin:

 

So it must raise it up a 1/2" or so i would take it.

Yeah but the bars compensate for the rise so it is still about the same height as stock bars.

 

How much rise did you go with? Low, med, high.

 

Also my msr bars i have now are a lil higher than stock i think and im 6'1 so what do you think i should go with in a rise?

I think mine are CR high.. If your a taller fellow.. you might like a CR double high.
