7/8’ or Fatbar?

A fat bar is pretty close to a 7/8”.

7/8" Perfect balance between stiff/flex. I have never bent a set in a fall. I also run my levers in, so I need the extra clamp area.

For what it’s worth after running crossbar-less bars for years, when I got my 17 Honda I ran the 7/8ths that came on it for awhile and I would get sore wrists when the track was rough. I changed the bars to pro tapers and the pain went away so in my experience when it’s rough or the bigger hits the fat bar would be better.

I’ve bent 7/8” but not that easily. Usually the problem is with the mounts twisting. I’ve run 7/8” renthals forever. Fat bars are nice though.

It's been a long time since I've run 7/8 bars but when I did it seemed they always bent where the crossbar clamps onto the bars. I've been running either fatbars or Pro tapers for years now and despite some pretty big crashes I haven't bent a set yet.
My theory is without the crossbar, in the event of a crash the bars can flex when they hit the ground. Don't know if that's true but I've had a good run with it
