OrganDonor Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 XX Bars on eBay Different bars for different years? They look an awful lot like my VFR bars I got for my Bird. If they ARE VFR bars (and the correct year), maybe someone car steal 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exskibum Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Different bars for different years? I'd like to know that answer, too. And is it the same issue with Heli bars 9i.e., different Heli bars for different year Birds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossi Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Those are VFR bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 All year XX bars are the same, and those ain't them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Those are VFR bars. +1 They most certainly look like it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exskibum Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 All year XX bars are the same, and those ain't them. So, which VFR bars (any or just some years) can be substituted for XX bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exskibum Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 V-tec models, 2002 and up, I believe. Gracias. I like those a lot more than the Heli bars. If I decide to raise the bars, that's the way I think I'll go. I hope somone at TBME has a set on his or her XX so that I can check them out. Come to think of it, Sport Chick is renting a VFR, so I'll have to ogle her rental bars while I'm at it. (Never paid much attention to VFR bars on VFRs before.)

Red J Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?...c=21236&hl=cash Some pictures in that thread, of VFR bars on my XX. IMO, they're the bars they should have shipped the XX with. --- I concur that those bars on the ebay auction look to be 2002+ VFR bars. Can't guarantee it, but I'm betting they are.

Or am I not reading right... -UJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they could be 98-01 VFR bars (look similar) which don't fit (second hand info). Taking a chance for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willxx23 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'll tell you one thing I bet those are gonna end up being about the same price as new ones from Honda before that auction is over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Or they could be 98-01 VFR bars (look similar) which don't fit (second hand info). The '98-'01 VFRs had 41mm forks, as opposed to the 43mm variety on the V-tec models and the XX. I'd proceed with caution, that 2mm difference is a dealbreaker, but hard to spot in a photo.

exskibum Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Had some e-mail correspondence with the seller and it appeared that his "mechanic" didn't know what he was talking about, so the guy admitted to being somewhat "confused". He just cancelled the auction, presumably in response to my e-mail asking him to verify the I.D. on those VFR bars he was selling. My guess is that he somehow got stuck with VFR bars that didn't fit, got some bad info from his "mechanic" and now knows what he has -- which are pretty useless to XX owners. Thanks for the education, guys (esp. Redbird). This site and the dickheads on it are indispensible if you own an XX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
