7/8 Superbike bar on a 2013 - 1985CB450_imp - 09-02-2022

First official mod on my new to me 2013 model

Its an Emgo 7/8 Superbike bar and has the same dimensions as the stock bar so I was able to reuse Honda's clever anti vibe bar end weights

Looks good. Details on these bars vs. the stock bars? Looks like less pullback??

If you think of it, would you post an update after riding a bit? I would like something approximately these dimensions, but I'm afraid that the lack of knurling on that bar will cause slippage/bar rotation under hard braking.

When I used bars with no knurling, I would pre-fit them, mark the clamp area off with tape or a Sharpie, and use a spring-loaded automatic centerpunch and fill those areas with a bunch of dimples.

Less pullback and about half the rise of the stock bars.

I was also thinking they may need to be dimpled but I have found it not necessary. I've tweaked the bars several times to find the perfect fit and have had no issues in getting it tight and secure. I tested by holding the front brake and compressing the forks forcefully and they are rock solid.

I absolutely love the riding position, just slightly forward with a nice big flat bar
