Renthal bars

Do you need to keep the crossbar on? Thinkimg of adding some and not sure if the crossbar is needed, or just for motocross.

I had them on my XR250r, seems they were just for the pad, but I don't know. Give it a shot. You can easily remove them with an allen head.

I wouldnt take the cross bar off. It probably wouldnt snap for street use but you dont want to find out.

Bike will be more comfortable with crossbar removed , BUT, the flex in bars will probably lead to them cracking at the mounting
I would probably try it with and without crossbar though I've always left it on.
Pretty sure it's why they made the 'Fatty' 1" bar to run without crossbar

yeah the cross bar is there to strengthen the bar. adds support. They only use them on the 7/8" bars. The 1 1/8" bars do not have a crossbar. check these out. http://www.motosport.com/dirtbike/product/TURNER-OVERSIZED-BAR-MOUNTS-WITH-TURNER-OVERSIZED-HANDLEBAR-COMBO/?id=108361

Renthals are really strong bars...For streetriding You don't need the crossbar... not unless yer gonna be doin stoppies or sittin on the bars..

I dont think I will be doing any crazy stoppies or wheelies for that matter. This slug will barely spin the tire in the dirt let alone get the front off the ground. I will try with the crossbar off and see if pj is right about the flex. Just looking for some more comfort on the longer runs. thanks guys.
