Dude you wrapped the hideous chrome plastic. My hero! I'm probably going to go with some low bars myself. I wanted to do a broomstick or straight handlebar but i'd have to use some kind of risers. The bar would hit the plastic top side. :( So i will look at my options.

Hey if anyone wanted to be a monkey, we could get some of those goofy monkey bars guys put on Harley Davidsons. Those guys look like monkeys, I don't understand why they do that. Sorry if I offended anyone who has a Harley with the monkey bars.

Back on subject...

I installed some old low profile dirt bars on my Pcx last night for a laugh. They feel better but had to remove the peg from both hand controls, and hits windshield being so low.

My bars did too. Originally I cut about a inch off the top of the windscreen, but now I ride without the windscreen(not much difference).

mikelx5, did you have to rotate the banjo bolt on your brake lines to get the bars to fit right? i'm in the middle of fitting some wider, lower bars to my scoot and the brakeline hits the bodywork. was gonna do it once i got back from work and just looked at the photo of your bars.
