I want a new Handlebar as well, really dislike the stock one, not a big fan... really want to get a red, black, or even another chrome one but more straight...
anyone know whether it's a big job doing it?
as I have one already but it's matte black, if it's simple to install I might gloss black it for now until I get a decent one, thinking red bar with black crossbar.

The crossbar is a motocross inspired thing. It's meant to fit a pad so when you "case it' on a jump, your chest hits the softer pad rather than hard parts. Not necessary on a streetbike. I think you'd be hard pressed to find an improvement over the OEM bars. May be better for now to experiment with tlting the furter forward or away if you don't like the current positioning of them. Only reason I could see to change is if the handlebars are contacting your knees during turning maneuvers, which again, can prop be corrected by tilting the bars forward slightly.

I suppose if you just wan to shoten the bars cause you think it's too wide, you could try cutting some length off the ends. Will require more steering however with the shorter distance causing a decrease in leverage.

and I loved that Bar, wish I put the crapper one back on before selling it :-(
but yeah I like that whole style, the Crossbar on that one was for show though...
might get the same one for the PCX as it was only about £35 I think,
but not sure how easy/hard it is to replace them and whether all the bits will easier fit on the new one.

I guess I've really scrutinized the ergos of the scoot. Maybe I will do that next time I sit on it and see if I can imagine something more preferable. If nothing else, some narrower bars would make lane splitting here in CA a bit easier. =)

I got my last one from here:
http://www.pedparts.co.uk/search?q=handlebar

but you'd need to check the size as i'm not sure whether they're the same as the PCX.

Have you thought of the weight savings... :o those stock bars are heavy and the bar ends might as well be lead :cry: :roll: ;)
And if anyone cares my bars are 25inches wide. 8)

Narrower is better for filtering so I understand the logic here, but like many others, I find the mirrors, which add most to the width, do not show a good enough rear view, especially with an armoured jacket on. Some have extended them out even more, but due to city driving in London and not being able to fit is spaces others filter through, I'm leaving the stock bars+mirrors as-is.

when changing your bars, keep in mind the height from the bodywork and the sweep backwards. I have a very straight and low set on mine and i had issues with the throttle cable and the banjo bolt clashing with the bodywork. also if they are too straight with no backsweep then they can clash with the screen whilst manouvering.

http://japan.webike.net/products/1757518.html
I have the medium version of these and they fit nicely but i had to customise the banjo bolt to clear the bodywork. I am also using a lower than stock front screen that only runs to the height of the dash cover. I initially tried the lower version of this bar but i couldnt run the throttle or brakes at the right angle.
