2002 M900ie

  1. These are my bars (2002 M900ie). Not standard and no makers marks. They feel great, just need to get the (non-adjustable) forks sorted. They feel so harsh and jumpy. Getting them serviced soon, but would love to upgrade without spending near a Grand - any suggestions ?

  2. I reckon that’s the sort of bend that I will be more comfortable with.
    I think that’s forks may be transferable between Monsters and 916’s, ST4’s and a few others.
    I am going to try an oil change at some point.

  3. I swapped the bars over, but still not 100% comfortable.
    I will try some MX bars next.
    Or some clip ons.
     
  4. I have 916 forks on my M900, meaning the standard bars won't fit due to the adjusters protruding out the fork tops so I fitted some 30mm bar riser clamps to clear them but then standard bars would be too high so I fitted Renthal 'flat' bars that, despite the name do have a slight bend to them.

    With the risers they sit around the same height as standard bars and I positioned the bend to get a slight lift up and rearwards at the ends but otherwise almost straight rather than tapered back, this puts my weight a little more forward, not sure if this would help you but I like the position.

  5. I think it’s the up turn, that doesn’t suit my decrepit body.
