Bars

Post by FBJ » Fri Sep 14, 2012 6:51 am

I noticed in EK5 that alot of the Germans had nice normal handle bars on the Kats, they were to small to be superbike bars and to big to be Bandit bars, what are they? I need a set.

You sure they're not Renthal superbike bars, I'm sure I can see one or two sets in the pics.
There's quite a few different types of renthal's as I'm sure you know.
Maybe worth looking on ebay germany and seeing what's advertised or fitted on a kat for sale?

There are no specific models of bars fitted. Each to their own. There are lots of companies producing handle bars, you will find nearly any brand on the Kats.
I use a Hagen (not Hagon!) Type 11 on my wifes Kat and a ABM, which I shortened a bit, on my project bike.

and a gs1000 top yoke will alow you to keep the stock forks and not have to buy a set of clip on bar mounts.
