Which Size Handlebars are right for Your Pit Bike?

I hope this video will answer your questions on what size bar is best for your riding style and height. There are many different heights, lengths and bends available and this video covers some of more popular sizes in particular for the Honda CRF 110. In this video we run through bars from ProTaper, BBR, ODI, and Renthal on my Kawasaki KLX140, BBR equipped Honda CRF110, and my other CRF110 pit bike.
Carson Brown’s BBR bars are equipped on my BBR CRF110 build and I really like these bars since they are just as wide as my KTM 450 handlebars. If you’re constantly hopping between a regular sized motocross bike and a pit bike, you’ll probably want to go with the BBR bars. Also an interesting design feature I noticed is the Renthal 797 bars taper down a bit more at the bends when compared to the BBR bars. All in all, each of these bars have pros and cons and fit different riding styles. Rough measurements for each bar are below for comparison purposes.
ProTaper XR50: 30” wide, 5.5” rise from crossbar
BBR: 32” wide, 5” rise from crossbar
ODI 110: 31” wide, 3.5” rise from crossbar
Renthal 784: 29.5” wide, 3.5” rise from crossbar
Renthal 797: 28 3/4” wide, 7” rise from crossbar

It’s crazy how much of a difference black rims make.

[@CharlieFerer]

Right! Especially on that bike!

Ironically I restored a yamaha lb50 chappy. Put on an 80cc pot kit / "power pipe " and a couple of bits and bobs. The hardest part was getting a set of bars thar worked. I ended up at a custom scooter centre some way away and all good.

chappy , pot kit , power pipe 💀

This video helped so much! Thank You!

[@CharlieFerer]

Glad to help! Took me a few test rides to see which ones I really liked.

What aftermarket bars are closest to stock? Just looking to upgrade for my son but dont need bigger bars

[@CharlieFerer]

email me at [e-mail] I have the stock bars and can sell you the stock ones at a discount if you wish.

[@xxshiftlockxx]

the Protaper KLX/CRF 110 bar is almost exactly the same as the BBR 910 bar. I got the Protaper xr50 and didn't like it so I went with the KLX/CRF 110 bar. I have a 2021 Pitster Pro MXR 155

thanks fot the tips

[@CharlieFerer]

Anytime Anthony!

[@gavinbewley8568]

Did you have to get an aftermarket throttle cable for the xr50 bars? Thanks

[@BrianRedmon-df9xq]

What is the part # on the odi110 bars on your klx140

[@petemenninger6319]

I have a '07 ttr125LE and will be installing taller bars, prob the BBRs, will I need longer throttle, clutch and brake cables? If yes, what model/brand etc., and do you know where I may find them? TIA

[@CharlieFerer]

Hey Pete! I would call BBR to see if they may have cables that will work for you. Mention my video so they know what you are trying to do.

[@darrendufresne9723]

Did you need a longer clutch cable on the klx140 to work with the odi bars

[@CharlieFerer]

Yes we did.

[@monsoondagoon9920]

Wouldn’t the rise be measured from top bar not the cross bar.. how do you measure bars without a cross bar? Edit: noticed you mentioned crossbar as reference 👍

[@CharlieFerer]

All of the bars I have bought for the 110 have a cross bar. I have not seen any without but that is a good question.

[@tanner2669]

i have a klx110rl would i be able to put the pro tapers on without extending the cables

[@CharlieFerer]

I am not sure on the KLX 110 RL

[@steveechaa3744]

Do I need longer a brake cable if I put the Renthal 797 on my TTR 110?

[@detroitpyro2859]

Where did you buy the bbr bar pad for the 110? ❤

[@CharlieFerer]

Hit up BBR web site…they have them for sale

[@detroitpyro2859]

[@campervanbug7658]

I'm looking for a 5 or 6 inch rise bars for the the 85,100,and 112 bike, is anything that will work for me

[@CharlieFerer]

Yes, from the video shows different bar heights that will work great!

[@campervanbug7658]

@@CharlieFerer you're saying there all interchangeable between each other

[@CharlieFerer]

@@campervanbug7658 handlebars can be interchangeable. Handlebar manufacturers, make different bar sizes for different types of riding styles and the height of the rider so each rider can have their own preference of bar size to fit their riding style.
