MX Bars...let's see 'em

Got a 78 CB750 and originally wanted to just use some drag bars. But been thinking some MX bars might be bad ass. I know Bitwell has some 1-inch MX style, but have any of you used Renthals or any other enduro or dirtbike bars?

Let's see some pics.

Thanks guys. Those Flat Renthals look bad ass.

Never thought of removing the cross bar removed. Do they flex a lot?

I have the original Honda Euro bars on my '78 CB, and they are fucking awesome. Lower rise than the super sports, look really nice, super comfy. Really can't go wrong with 'em. You might also want to look at some bars off of a CL or SL, they had some killer MX bars that came stock. Bet you could find some cheap on theBay.

fat bars don't have the cross-bar. you'll need bigger risers, but still with the 7/8 controls.

My XR650R had Renthal fat bars and they were so nice.

Heading to eBay to check out some SL and CL bars. That might be a cheap way to get something cool.

My fat bars take a 1 1/8 inch bored riser...hence the steering stab on my set up....

I tried them on my XS. Loved the way they looked on the bench with the low mounted king sportster tank, but hated the way they looked on the ground. I needed something with rise and way more narrow, but they work well on some builds.

Hell, Clay Rathburn @ atom bomb builds a bunch of his Triumphs using MX bars.

Here's a pic of mine before I swapped em out:

I used my MX bar for a completely different application.

yeah and the front signals are modified too, tape rolls and pop bottle caps for the mounts.
