    Low rise handlebars for sub mount?

    by Peeps » Mon Jun 05, 2006 2:58 pm

    I have a scotts stabilizer that I'm gonna mount to my bike soon, and I really like the BRP sub-mount kit, but I would like to keep my handlebars at the same height (at least on the ends) Are there any bars out there that would work for this, or at least keep them as low as possible? Or do I need to do a top mount method? What are your recommendations?

    Hey Peeps, I was thinking the same thing but went ahead and ordered the Pro-Taper Hawkins Low bars for my setup. The BRP underbar clamp adds 15mm to the height of the bars. I am 5'11 and think that will keep it right at where stock is. I will let you know when i get it all installed.

    Anyone else have any experiences with this?

    The stock 971 Renthal bar is 99mm tall, the Carmicheal bend Pro Tapers, (like the ones on your big brother's bike ;)) are 77mm tall. So the Carmichael bend ends up being a whole 3mm taller than the stock setup when put on a Sub Mount. (+25mm for sub mount, -22mm for carmichael bend = +3mm total)

    I think the RM low bar like Ken used on the CRF's Only bike are 74mm tall and thus end up being exactly the same as stock height.
