wanting to change out the bars

[mikelx5]

does anybody know how to measure the rise? im ridding my pcx of chrome, never liked chrome. this being said im not looking to loose the position of my bars so trying to get the same rise. and will basic clamps fit my pcx150?

Rise is the "height" of the bars from center to the grip center, pcx's rise is like 4 inches or so.
replacement bars of a similar size, rise, reach are very hard to find...
If you like the size of the PCX bars, why not just paint them?

Or powder coated?

[mikelx5]

I found a place to get bars way cheaper than powder coat and i can always angle for the reach if necasary

[mikelx5]

And thank you for the rise info

4.2 "pullback/reach" is more than the stock ones I think? you sure you would want that?

[mikelx5]

if it is its not by much

[Mgalutia88]

Stock reach is something around 3.7". Also our bars are short of 27" in width and the bars he's looking at are 28-30".

[you you]

You generally trim the bar ends a bit if necessary

[mikelx5]

If they end up being too much there are the sport style thr have for same price so ill just get those if i dont like the angle but it apears pretty close so we will just wait to find out

[mikelx5]

so i bought em and installed em they actually look way lower actually and reach is comfortable
