What bars for a ZB50?

Curious what you guys would suggest for bars on a Honda ZB50? The oem ones look pretty sad.

Also need a good idea for pegs.

What do you guys think. Ideas?

Takegawa and Daytona make some nice bars. ZB bars are 7/8. Put rearset pegs on it.

Re: What bars for a ZB50?

Where to buy pegs? I'm a motocross guy, and while I can go flip through a Tucker book.... doesn't give me real world experience on ANYTHING street oriented. The concept of footpegs that aren't a big grippy platform is taking some getting used to.

Re: What bars for a ZB50?

If you want footpegs, leave the stock units on there and call it a day. People keeping the stock location footpegs don't install aftermarket pegs due to the design of the footpeg assembly.

If you want rearsets, you'll be modding the frame. You can purchase rearsets for both the stock drum brake or if you move to disc brakes.

Rearsets are $450+ and up depending on Brand. If you are on a budget, keep the stock pegs and call it a day or fabricate your own custom setup based upon the stock design.

Bars - 100's of choices for the ZB50. From chrome to stainless to full titanium bars.

Maybe just leave the pegs stock.

I'd love clip on bars, but can't seem to find any.

I should start a thread here on my progress. Doing a budget build, but still making it a 160 and going 100% murdered black.

Re: What bars for a ZB50?

Nsr clip ons and ac (eBay) rear sets would be pretty cheap and get the job done.

I have NSR clipons, but retained the stock footpegs for now. NSR rearsets are waiting to eventually go on.
