my 2011 Atomik Fuse 125/150

[GooseMan]

they look nice and durable. I got pro tapers on my xr600 when I rebuilt the engine and the clutch side one has worn a spot completely flat allready! The clutch is very heavy though so that is part to blame. Anyone else had this problem?

i've had bars bend when i've landed jumps, my mates renthals on his 85 did not fare to well....

whoops

 

[GooseMan]

Sorry blender I meant grips, but on that note I need new bars for the atomic too

my old Pro Taper Pillow Tops on the IT200 went really soft after about a year, the little squares started rounding/dragging off with not much ride time on them (about 400kms total)
and they show up all the dirt/grime too being grey.

the Troy Lee/ODIs' are super grippy, even after a heap of hours riding,
i had them on my Custom Orion, when i sold it they still felt like they were new, they have really good cushioning as well.

the IT got a set of Troy Lee's about a month ago to replace the Pro Tapers.
i should have bought 2 sets then, to save me another trip into town

Oh and I finally edited and uploaded this, its your bike in action!

thanks for the video too,
what did you think of the OKO compared to the china Mikuni 22/26?

guess i know what grips to get next! are there different colours, or just black ?

 

[my67xr]

there are quite a few different colors,

Sounds like they got a bit of rep with you then. I'm a little disappointed with the pro taper, it's only had about 20 hours riding time

 

[stoozo]

Is this why bmx grips are so expensive? I used to do at least 100hrs on a pair of grips before they were replaced, same sized bars on a bmx too.....check it out!

^^ except motorcycles run a 7/8" on the left and a 1" on the right for the throttle tube.

finally got the Fuse out and took a pic last night
new/used Gold Renthal FatBars($50 inc delivery), with some new china ASV copy levers too ($40 inc delivery)
both were a straight bolt on, no mods needed

 

[my67xr]

oh, and my $2 inc delivery KLX style kill switch,

 

[stoozo]

Nice levers! Where did you get them from?

 

[my67xr]

they took just over 2 weeks to arrive, got them here-
Black Unbreakable Clutch Folding Brake Lever FOR CRF50 PIT Dirt Bike | eBay

 

[Blender]

yea, i'llbe ordering some of those soon, definite uprade from non-bifolds that i currently using...

 

[my67xr]

the clutch lever is pretty long, but with the extra leverage it makes the clutch feel lighter

 

[Blender]

yea, the ones i was looking at were 59 bucks, and they're the same, but were in australia. if it saves me 19 bucks, im happy to wait.

 

[my67xr]

these ones have both short levers- Front Brake Clutch Lever SET PIT Dirt Bike Thumpstar 125cc 140cc ASV Copy | eBay

mine are more like these , but with a rubber boot on the clutch lever, and a bigger locking adjuster and another boot (and ASV on them)-
