Hi everyone

ive got a yamaha dt 125r in blue and the stock handlebars (black) are starting to rust so im going to get some renthals.

But was wondering, what colour does everyone reckon i should get?

would blue handlebars be abit too much?
also any particular type of bars you'd recommend?

Put a pic of my bike at the bottom as well just in case you needed to have a look.
cheers guys Thumbs Up

i had a low on my dt. mine were black on a black dt.
it might be worth going to a shop that sell them, and ask to hold them up to the bike. What i did. got the best height for my riding

that probably sounds like the best idea to go to a shop and see what they look like next to the bike.

cheers for the help guys Thumbs Up

Silver, it'll match the top yoke and clamp. Black bars are smart, blue would be too much imo.

Shops don't tend to stock many Renthal bars, maybe it's differnet with off road shops?

Don't know why this is in workshop though...

oo never thought about silver? Confused
thanks for the link
Thumbs Up

do you think it might be worth asking someone to photoshop them blue and silver in that pic to get an idea of what it might look like?

Thing is, it was.

Blue bars can be cool, btw, but black bars are definitely the coolest. Thumbs Up

Blue will look fucking stupid unless it's the same shade of blue as everything else. Which it won't be.

Black or silver will look fine.

Lilac could bring out the colour of your shock...

Why don't you match it to the colour of your powerband?

Just kidding, black or silver is best. Thumbs Up
