Title: Renthal bars
Post by: Dark Diggler on December 23, 2006, 06:15 PM

My memory tells me that Renthals (the ones with the allen bolted crossbar)were frequently seen on rides BITD however, I aint seen a set in on anyones ride for years. I saw a set on ebay recently albeit on a motocross search and wondered how a set would look and perform on a modern Ripper, Has anyone bought and used them recently or were they just shat, and I dont remember hearing about it?
