Middle Bar

Post by jojo87 »

Hey,

Does anyone know (in the UK) where I can get the middle bar that goes across the main handlebar?
I wanted to get ones that weren't as bent but the hassle of taking everything off etc...
I thought I can get the middle bar as I noticed with that on.. it doesn't make the overall handlebar look as bad,
plus the fact I can use it in future to clamp my phone case etc to.

Not sure of the name, bar strengthener is it, or crossbar?
i'm not sure on the dimensions needed either,
so could someone link me to the exact thing I need..
either red, chrome or black.

Thanks.

I actually love that in the last photo!!!
for some reason, for me, it just makes that whole section nicer instead of the big gap...
the link you put DAB... they're 100% the ones that will fit on the PCX?
got a photo of yours?

Do you know if these will go onto the PCX bar? or won't they go on due to the clamp type?

I only need a cheap one as i'll be getting the bar cushion/pad for it, so the bar itself wont really be seen apart from the clamps

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Dir ... 20e35290f1

Diameter of the clamps is 7/8" (22mm)
(I couldn't find any sizes on the other link you gave)

Suppose this would be the best one as the clamp itself looks easier to sort out (the Renthal ones)

and this one will 100% fit the PCX?

Sod it, £34.... hopefully they fit well, got them from the link you supplied DAB,
hoping they get here for Tuesday when I get the Bike so I can put everything on there that day!
(mirrors, levers, grips, bar...)

Didn't have that black/red one in stock apparently :-(
should have a stock check on their website!
so they suggested another which is slightly thicker in diameter,
which is black, white writing but a silver outline instead of the red,
thought that would do as the bars etc are chrome anyway,
if I don't like it then i'll send it back,
they had another which was mostly red with white writing and black outline,
but due to the Bike being red now... I didn't want 'too much' red,
but yeah... i'll have my own thread when I get the Bike like last time,
and i'll upload all photos on there of everything :-)
