trade my -7 degree crossroads bars for 0 degree bars

Just a thought...

I've got a set of 0 deg bars I'll part with if you can't find anyone who'll swap with you. Left bar is tweaked out about 1/4" where the po dropped it and the center section has faded and is due for a powder coat, paint or re-anodizing. ASB sells just the 0 deg bars, the center mount is the same for both.

Ya they are 100 something bucks too! I think i'll weld a piece on the bottom to bring them to zero degrees again. just have to find the setup. All I know is wire feed and stick. I dont have the equipment for alum.

70 bucks per side if I remember from Al. Sure, you could prob fab up a couple shims and get some longer allen bolts. I have both the 0 and -7 and both put too much pressure on my arms and wrists for me. GL

Well there is a guy who owns a Genuinesaab.com here in Springfield that has a handful of machines for cutting metal and would machine the bars to 0 degrees for next to nothing. I agree Sparky, I am afraid that they won't make much difference. I did put some washers (for now) where the handlebar clamps would go to raise the bars too. Helps a little but not quite there. I am thinking of having them machine me risers to get rid of the ghetto washers.

Not to get off subject or trash Crossroads, but they flex too much under cornering imo. Push down on one side and watch how much deflection they have.

Never noticed. That's pretty thick aluminum. Hell I dropped the bike in the shop from the stand not being fully engaged and the bar took a lot of the weight. Still straight.
