Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you have the correct tools for handlebar replacement. Loosen the handlebar clamp bolts on your triple tree. Remove the existing handlebar, paying attention to the routing of cables and wires. Position the new Renthal Superbike Handlebar, utilizing the laser-etched grid for initial alignment. Reinstall the handlebar clamp bolts and tighten them to the manufacturer's specified torque. Route cables and wires carefully, ensuring they have adequate slack and do not bind at full steering lock. Test steering lock to lock before riding.
Compatibility: The Renthal Superbike Low Handlebar features a standard 7/8" (22mm) diameter, making it compatible with most standard motorcycle clamps and controls. However, riders should verify that existing cables, brake lines, and wiring are long enough for their chosen handlebar's rise, width, and sweep. Aftermarket grips, handguards, or other accessories should also be checked for compatibility with the 7/8" diameter.
Care: Clean the handlebars regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the anodized finish. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Periodically check that handlebar clamp bolts remain tightened to specification. The anodized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, but regular cleaning will maintain its appearance.
