The bars look great Nobrakes.
Rumors have it that the MSR clutch perch and lever is a great thing to use on the 10r's also. How are the clamps on the MSR? They look kinda thin.

 

My shorty clutch and perch are branded ASV so I can't speak to the MSR unless they are really the item just diferent names on them as some products are these days. The ASV shorty clutch is great - one the best bits of bling I've bought for my bike. There are several perches you can get for it. I bought the "Pro" perch. It is a bit pricey but the adjustment **** is very big and you can adjust it while riding. Sometimes you can see the SuperCross riders adjusting their clutch in mid-air over a big triple. Not that I do that.

The larger adjuster is great - no problem adjusting it with gloves on and it clicks so you can tell how far you have adjusted it. Also, it has a plastic bushing between it and the bar so that you can bang on it with your fist to move it for fine tuning. Similarly, if you wreck or hit or hit a tree or something it will spin on the bar instead of breaking.

I like it a lot.

 

Them be the same ones I use (I think). Mine said "Raptor 80" which I took to mean the Yamaha Raptor 80 ATV.

 

I thought I remembered you had a Raptor bar. I wish I would have got these to start with, back when you got yours. It's amazing what a difference the height and sweep in the bar can make to your comfort. I know this is subjective and each person is going to be different, but these bars make me feel a whole lot better on the bike - feels much better handling and control-wise.

 

Brian,

I just put these exact bars on My bike (because I liked the way yours turned out) and have a question on how You routed Your clutch cable. Can You describe how You had Your clutch cable routed? If You remeber?

Thanks

I routed the cable up in front of the gas tank, between it and the handlebar mount, and up alongside the handlebar. Here's an old photo:



That's the clutch cable running up along the bottom side of the handlebar on the left. I sold the bike to DirtSurfer this spring, so I don't know if that routing created any rub spots that might wear through or not. It seemed to still be working OK at the end of May and the NE ride. But if the clutch cable was about 4 to 6 inches longer, it would be better.

 

Still going strong Brian, your engineering techniques continue to work long after the NE ride!!!

I'd highly recommend routing it the way Brian did!!!

 

Sweet!

 

Thanks Brian,

I'll mess with it some more tonight and try to route it like the photo.

Hey, when Your ready to sell the KTM in a couple years let Me know it'll save Me some time & work... [8D]
