Im fairly certain Renthal would object. I recently bought a 125 with some Twinwall bars, and previous owner has cut the crossbar at the center, and put some tape over the seam, and installed bar pad. Is this common? I assume they were looking for some give in the cockpit. Anyone ride twin walls with no crossbar?

From Renthal: "While the bar is still safe to use without the crossbrace, there is only a slight difference in flex and a very slight loss in overall strength. We use a special adhesive during the manufacturing process to install the crossbrace clamp, which helps prevent any squeaking while riding due to the flex in bars."
Love the bars anyways, I currently have some on YZ250 that probably have 200 hours on them, they creak pretty bad.
I do spec the Fatbar when using wrap-around handgurads (to achieve some flex).

We build off-road bikes- mostly for Baja guys. I also sell a lot of graphic kits and trail tools.
I work close with the JCR team to make their parts and practices available to the public. The fun (but infrequent) part is being around Rally, GNCC and Baja racers (and their factory bikes).
But at the end of the day- I'm just a super fan who works too much and doesn't get to ride enough. Sound familiar?
