Hey where can I get a round bar for my crf50???

Towlieee · 08-18-2009, 06:53 PM

I don't think anyone makes one, at least not mass produced..

And I've never used a round bar on a 50, but 50's scrape a lot different then a sport bike, and I'm not sure a round bar would be easy to 'scrape', I think it would be more of a touch and go device...

I had scraped round bars on f4i's and 600rr's, and when you hit a round bar on a sport bike, as long as your centered over the bike, and the road is good, you can literally scrape it for blocks.. I've went well over 200 foot on a round bar at 30+mph
Whereas on a sport bike, I have the hardest time scraping my flat bar.. If you hit it at all crooked it tosses you fast.

But on hte 50, a flat bar is easy to scrape, you can lean and make it track right.. I just wonder how a round bar would balance, I think on such a small bike, it would be hard to make it track right.. Much in the same way its hard to balance a small bike side to side compared to a big bike..

What are you going for? Just protection for you fender? Something to just tap? Something to drag?

I could ask turboglenn if he could fab one up.. I've been working with him daily, we could possibly use his 12 bar design, and change it a little for a round bar..

Hmmmm, maybe I just need it for fender protection and tap I will be doig alot of wheelies and if I get good enough I will then get a 12 bar. I like the look of the round bar is clean.

lol i keep looking at getting a 12 bar but im always worried about catching it when i bail from a wheelie gone wrong or something. the round bar seems like a good idea to protect your plastics but it limits you on tricks i think

ya they are dangerous, especially while first learning.

The first few weeks I had my 12 bar, it caught the inside of my thigh, and hit my shins and stuff on it repeatedly.. But once I got used to avoiding it, I haven't hurt myself on it in a couple years

Same thing with rear axle stunt pegs.. They would always hit me in my ankles at first, but once I got used to it, I haven't ran my own leg over in years lol

lol i did the ankle bash a few times but ive riden bmx for years so im pretty used to missing them

thats y u throw the 50 1 way and jump the other way!

lol im stuborn and dont like to see my bike hit the ground they need to design a crash cage for these things and i wouldnt feel so bad throwing it down

MISFITSBOB · 08-24-2009, 02:29 PM

First few rides with my 12 bar were an adventure to say the least. Just remember when bailing on a wheelie its better to keep your legs out and fall to ass than to try to stand up and get your ankles ripped up and still hit the ground

cameraman · 08-24-2009, 08:26 PM

how wide are 12 bars usually and if the bike is in a wheelie already i dont really see a way to hit it. if im thinking right when i step off i should be above it or actually the bar should be on the ground or am i thinking wrong
