I've ordered this bar and waiting to get it. I expect it to be about the same as stock, but with more "pull back". I'm also getting it in black.

650-05052 7\8 TT-Flat Track Style Bar, Black and Knurled 650-05052

Dennis Kirk and Motor Acc Wherehouse also deal in Fanders bars.

hey halfdog,
I would be VERY interested in hearing how those bars work for you. I, too, am looking at a set of Flanders replacements for the same reason of additional pullback. However, I passed on the bars you choose ( A-24 bars )because they are just as wide as the stock ones and only have .5 inch more pullback. I want to opt for the XR 750 style ( C-24 bars ) which are 3 inches narrower and have 3.5 inches more pullback. I'm researching what it would take to change the cables, though, because I'm sure it has to be done with that set.

Also, I would like to hear from people with the speed triple bars installed as far as how much more pullback they have over the stock scram bars. I'm willing to pay Triumph's price for them if I don't have to change cables as I'm sure I will with the Flanders C-24 bars.

All I really want is the stock Scrambler bars if the last ( top ) curve by the grips were turned inward twords the rider about 2 inches.
