【HARDY】Road Bar Medium Review

A familiar Position!

I came back to Motorcycle, which I gave up a long time ago, by chance.
Position out for starters! My old Hardy bar, still for sale!
Compared to the original effex handlebar that came with it.
The rise from the Handlebar Post is rapid.
Fist position doesn't change much.
Large hanging angle (my favorite)
Light
The Handlebar should be replaced to suit your body!
However, I am thankful that after more than 15 years, they are still selling this Handlebar! View detail

Handlebar without a doubt

Unlike the cheap Xhua products, I feel that the anodized surface is good without unevenness or distortion. Also, the feel of Brace is good. View detail

Anodized age fading…

This Handlebar is aluminum and lightweight.
Very good salt for touring, such as height, aperture, etc.

But due to the nature of Anodized, it will fade…
Red in particular becomes White-ish and seems to deteriorate at a faster rate.

I've been using it for many years and have no complaints about the Position, but it faded
I was in a tight Koku Pit in the
This is an exchange to Middle Bar at Fana TEC.

There was almost no change in Position and no discomfort at all from Hardy (laughs). View detail

KSR80 Handlebar Replacement

It is a used KSR80 with 16,000Km mileage, but due to its age, there is a lot of rust on the details of the handlebar, and I decided to replace it because it is a place that is noticeable when driving. I decided to replace it.
I researched on some Reviews and selected this product which is close in dimension to OEMHandlebar.
The quality is nicely Anodized Aluminum Handlebar.
I thought it was the same size as OEM by research, but there was a slight error in aperture and height as shown in the picture. 。
When I actually installed it, I felt that the Handlebar was much lower, but since it was narrowed down, it seemed just right.
The OEM has a reinforcement bar welded together, but this product has an aluminum handlebar braze, which is very cool and I like it. View detail

It's a little different than I expected, but I'm glad I switched.

[How is it used?
The Z900 has a wide handlebar with a small aperture, which I felt was a little too far and low for my size.

Was the one you received as per Image?
I bought the Gun meta, but the color is Blueish and doesn't look like Gun meta.
Also, when I looked at it side by side with the OEM before installation, it didn't look much different and was a little different from my expectations.

Was the installation difficult?
There is nothing particularly difficult, but it is troublesome to replace the Grip, and it is necessary to open the hole to fit the protrusion of the Switch box's stopper with the Drill, so it may be a little Large strange if you do not have an electric Drill.
The cables and hoses were fine as OEM.

How was your experience with it?
The height and distance of the Handlebar did not change as much as I expected from the NORMAL, but the width has been narrowed to the Large width from the OEM and the aperture has been added, so the Grip position is closer to the body and easier to ride. Clearance with the Tank is not a problem even if it is cut to full lock.
The aluminum bar is lighter than the steel bar. I did not feel it.
In general, I'm happy with the bike and it's more fun to ride.

[Included Parts:were they on?
Material:Aluminum Brace bar is included, but I removed it because Z900 can't be installed because Meter unit is in the way.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
The height and closeness of the Handlebar did not change much, but if I want more change, I will have to replace the Cable and Hose.

I'm very happy with this product. View detail
