K100 C handlebars
« on: August 09, 2016, 02:55:58 PM »
Wow, are the "C" handlebars really that hard to find?  No luck on eBay.  Anyone holding?

They're not hard to find if you're willing to pay retail for new ones. To find a used one you need to be patient, diligent and search more than eBay. I bought mine from a South Carolinian advertising on IBMWR marketplace. It took a year and a half of regular searching. See the attached image for new stock from MAX BMW.

Thanks,
While I patiently look maybe I'll try to tweak the one I have back into line.  Low speed drop made it ugly on one side.

 I have 2 sets of C bars. There is minute differences between the two and neither pair have the same part number as listed above. Possibly different vendors supplied BMW? Superseded part number? Info anybody?

The drilling to accommodate heated grips may account for the differing part numbers.

Hows about some K1 Bars MW?
Got a set of those?

I will have to check the part numbers. I am unfamiliar with what the K1 bars look like.

I have a set but will have to wait and see if I can get the OEM heated grips from another bike with RT bars to work with them. If not, or if they're not drilled for heated grips, I'll put them up for sale here.
