Hi everyone, I'm trying to help my friend with a bike he just picked up and have a few questions. One of his bars are bent and I wanted to know if these are factory clip ons or aftermarket? What bikes can I get a bar from that will replace the bent one. Also where is a good place to buy a right side rear set and the clip-on bar. I've searched ebay and the classifieds here but haven't found one yet. I've attached pictures of the clip-on and bar that is bent. I've tried searching on here for info on the clip-on but I'm not having much luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Will

 

Those are aftermarket... not sure of the brand, but you should be able to just buy the bar and not the mount at a reasonable price.

Not sure whose brand either but they aren't Helibars - my set only has 2 pinch bolts per side. They look nice though, if you do find out the brand let us know.

don't be so sure. I thought the same thing after my bike got blown over by the wind. I just replaced the bar. then after noticing it not feeling quite right I took it to a shop and they showed me that the new straight bar I had put on had its end 2" lower than the other side. the actual hole that the bar goes into, the part that hooks up to the fork tube was bent as well. so much for race clip-ons as a way to keep costs down if you crash. I had to replace them anyway. I've got woodcrafts now. best to play it safe and get a new set.

 

some people custom make that stuff (at least i see people make their own complete triples for fighters a lot)

 

just throwin that out there. nobody can tell what brand it is

 

they are vortex
