Middle Bar

jojo87 · Post by **jojo87** » Wed Jun 11, 2014 1:44 pm

Hey,

I noticed you can get the 'strengthening' Bars to go across the middle of the Stock Handlebar,
just wondering where I can get a cheap one,
Im not a fan of the shaped Stock Bars so going to add that middle one with a pad on there,
seen some people on here with it done and it does look good,
(had it on my previous Bike aswell)

Noticed Power By PCX have them for 35 Euro,
just wondering if theres anywhere in the UK for cheaper which will fit?

Thanks :-)

Search on ebay using "handlebar brace"
There are loads.

Thanks a lot, wasn't sure what to search....
will most fit the Honda PCX?

For a scooter: totally useless and pointless tat.
Yes they'll all fit but they're really only any use on a proper off road bike.

It's like earrings. Pretty pointless but people seem to like the look.

I know they're useless on the Scooter, but personal likes etc, I dont really like the stock Handlebar,
and I like the look of them with that middle bar and pad on on the PCX to fill that gap,
but yes I agree, pointless but I like the look :-)

On the ends of the bars. Big pearl ones.

I reckon that makes the handlebar brace sort of a pearl necklace?

Is there a certain size I need to look for?
bar diameter etc..?

I don't believe there is a certain size, they are universal.

I like the look, but it also works well to hold my sunglasses case.

35 Euro sounds crazy expensive. I guess it is supply and demand. I am pretty sure that I didn't pay more than 400 or 500 Thai baht here ($12-$15). Does Powerbypcx offer free shipping? If so, maybe it is in the sale price that they make up for the 'free' shipping. Try the other suggestion and look on eBay.

Would this one actually work then?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191208802902? ... 1423.l2649

says Universal
7/8" clamp diameter
30.5cm total length

Diameter is ok, you would need to check the length and whether it will clamp to curved sections or if there's enough straight section available for it to fit.
You would possibly be better getting one from a local shop so you can check fit and finish before buying.

To be honest I wouldnt have a clue where to get one in Wales and the others i've seen are all £25+

I don't "get it"....what exactly is this? Does it clamp to the existing handlebar and sit above it?

Maybe Mark (kramnala58) will post a close up pic of his bar

His scoot's a good looker!!

WhiteNoise · Post by **WhiteNoise** » Thu Jun 12, 2014 11:02 am

I was thinking the same. How does it connect on the bar IF it's "in the bend" of the bar? Gn2 makes a good point. This is where Mark can help.

Reasons for installing one? Hmm...
You want one, just for looks, you plan on mounting something, hanging something, grab bar for yer pup? Uses are endless. Really, Think about it

A few Chin-ups perhaps?
Seriously, I think they're cool looking. Watch some youtube videos.

Now, where's Mark when ya need him?

Okay, okay, don't get all excited and out of shape WN, I'm hurrying.

This is when I first installed it without the sunglasses holder.

It takes about 90 seconds to install.
