Renthal bars F800GS

Post by rodrigoscs »

Hi,
Did anyone here fit a Renthal fat bar on the F800? If so, is it a simple swap or did you have any problems installing bar weights or hand guards due the fact that the Renthal are thicker?
Cheers

I did and returned them

You can’t fit the bar ends from bmw as it needs threaded inserts. I considered expansion bolts but sent them back. You also have to drill all your own holes for fitting the grips. Although this may be normal

Yes, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for your answer. What did you get instead? Did you just stick with the OEM ones?
