Best position
Installed in ZrX1200DAEG. Cable classes are all NORMAL, I think that it is the Handlebar of the height which can be mounted with probably Normal cable length. Accelerator Wire and SwitchHarness are a little affordable, but Brake hose can not afford until Stem's Clamp is removed. I changed several kinds of Handlebar, but this Handlebar became the best pose that I personally most comfortable.

Position as expected
So far, I had installed an ez-fit bar for the zrx1200r, which I happened to find on sale cheap, because I wanted to make the Handlebar black. This bar was a replacement for the Hardy Load Bar medium, and although it was quite low, it was easy to handle because the grip position was in front, but I wanted to make the Handlebar a little more in front, so I decided to replace it. This time, I compared and examined HURRICANE's European type 1, ez-fit bar high for daeg, and EFFEX's Super barEuropeantype1, and purchased HURRICANE, which was the cheapest, although it was troublesome to make a hole.
There was a review that said that the paint of HURRICANE Black was weak, but it did not become a scratch during the installation work, and it seemed to have passed the test that came to my place. As for the hole drilling, I positioned it after the position of the hole of the ez-fit bar which had been installed, and opened it with an electric drill.
I was able to install the Grip and Switches without any problems, but the Bar End was not able to be installed because the inner diameter of the Pipe of the Handlebar was too large.:The aluminum to steel conversion made it larger, so it had to be modified to make it stop properly.:If you want to change from Aluminum to Steel, you might want to check if the Bar End is compatible, because Throttle Wire has some room.
I've never used the OEM Handlebar before so I can't compare it to the OEM Handlebar, but I feel like I can sit in a more comfortable position and drive more easily now that the grip position is about 1cm higher and 2cm closer to the one I had before.
The HURRICANE Handlebar is available in many lineups and is reasonably priced, so if you are dissatisfied with the Position, you may want to consider replacing it.
It's very hard to remove the seal.

Are you prone to spot rust?
The OEM Handlebar on the ELIMINATOR 250 was bent, so I looked for something similar to the OEM.
This is almost the same as OEM etc. Of course, there is no hole in the Switch box, so some kind of modification is necessary.
I don't have any drawbacks, but I'm not sure if it floats a little bit faster than the OEMs for spot rusting. I think. It depends on the storage environment, but you should clean it when you wash the car.

Feel free to change the position
I wanted to move the Handle position up and back a little bit, so I changed from the RENTHAL that I had been using.
My impressions with it are...maybe a little too Upright...after all, the BMConti3 model might have been better.
There are a lot of lineups in this Handlebar, so you can try to change the position based on the dimensions of this Handlebar.
I selected the Iron Handlebar Black Paint Spec. for this project, but I felt that the paint quality was not as good as it could be. The paint film is thin/weak feeling. In fact, a lot of Wound is attached at the time of installation, and in addition, the paint is peeling off the Choke Lever sliding part (of LeftHousingSwitch) also after a slight period of use. Next time you will probably choose something other than the Black paint spec.

As if it were something else
FTR's OEMHandlebar is extensive, so change to this European type 1.
Building is no problem.
I am surprised by the change that makes the handling easier and rides in a completely different Motorcycle.

"It was used for Yamaha XV250. Although a normal handle has two kinds, American type and a flat, and I changed from the American type without changing parts other than a handle. It was the bolt on of only a handle. Since the change from a flat type differ
"It was used for Yamaha XV250. Although a normal handle has two kinds, American type and a flat, and I changed from the American type without changing parts other than a handle. It was the bolt on of only a handle. Since the change from a flat type differs in the degree of setting angle of the tank of a brake fluid, I think that it is difficult. Since the riding position became somewhat narrow although I'm 170 cm, when my height went into the top gear, the foot was put on the tandem step and I was running. It is easy to rust compared to genuine." View detail
