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 ?
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.
I swapped the bars over, but still not 100% comfortable. I will try some MX bars next. Or some clip ons.
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.
Like DD I have 916 forks in my M900 build with Renthal MX bars on the risers giving a very "sit up n beg" style of riding position which feels very comfortable but will catch lots of wind I'm sure.
90 miles today, before I melted. Bought some bars with a better for me bend, but when I tried to fit them, they weren’t long/wide enough, leaving 3/4” of the throttle tube overhanging. Replacing the relay, hasn’t solved the push the button and nothing happens issue. But what a bike!!!
the engine is so flexible, a road, b road, uncl road I have a couple of other 900's and you could say I am a fan
