Triumph Fat bars????

I have not seen them in person, but at least Jack Lilley has listed the factory fatbars and risers on the website for some time.

They told me they wouldn't be available until January.

Yeah, hats my local dealer, was just wondering if they were available in the US yet.

Don't the Triumph fat bars have the same bend as the stockers?

They do but look a lot better.

Mounted the rizoma fat bar...is similar and looks very nice!

Any pics?
Whats price difference?

ok guys ya teased me enough....what do they look like? someone post a link please.sean..

I saw a 07 triple with gold fatbars.

He used TAG risers and bars, He said he had to open the mount hole just a bit to get the riser bolt through and shim the risers up level to the top of the triple clamp with washers.

Probably be A-lot cheaper than jack lillys.

I ordered the bars and risers as soon as the '07 parts catalog was posted online... I'm still waiting for them to ship.

those bars are now on triumphs site. I would look though, find out who makes 'em, because I think I have seen the same bars for about 100 bucks less.

I also would like feedback on mx bars, possibly TAG. Anyone have pics or suggestions?

Silly question: What the deal with fat bars? Is it a better ride or just aesthetic? I mean they look cooler to me but I was just wondering if they serve a purpose.

I'm also wondering this... I'm looking for some options to get the bars up a little higher and back a little more, so my seating positition is more upright. The S3's seating positition is awesome for a bike in the sports-bike class, but like every human being - I want more.

BTW: Just bought my first S3 yesterday. 07 Roulette Green with the arrow 3-1 low pipe. Awesome bike.

From what I read about Fat Bars, they are supposed to transmit less vibration to your hands. I looked at and might still buy a set for my bike, just haven't been near a store for a couple of months. My 2 cents only.

There are two versions of Fat Bars, from my MX background, twinwall fatbars are stiffer, and will transmit more vibrations through to a riders hands, but they are STRONGER, and single walled fat bars are made so that they will flex more readily, thus transmitting less vibrations, or, more accurately giving the rider a bit of "suspension" from the flex, but they are not as strong, I have used both versions on my dirt bike, a single walled bar for the steet would be more than enough, but I am still gonna stick with my clips

Welcome to the mansion, Haplo. Send any dues my way; I'll see to it that they are spent wisely. :-D

Another stupid question, since the bars are fatter, do you have to get bigger grips or do the bars tapper at the end?
