No go on replacement handlebars for DT
« on: April 24, 2012, 12:07:16 AM »
Hi All,

The handlebars on my DT are a little too high for comfort on longer rides. I had been considering replacing them with slightly lower ones after seeing someone else replace theirs on their Burger.

I pulled off the tupperware this morning to measure the width/height/sweep of the stock bars, but found to my disappointment that replacing the bars is not going to be easy/possible. Instead of the fairly standard bars and clamp system of other scoots/bikes the DT has a completely different system. The bottom of the DT's handlebar is a vertical cyclinder, which fits over the shaft of the steering column and is bolted into place. The more standard system that I have seen is that there is a horizontal clamp fixed to the top of the steering column that the handlebar clamps to.

Anyone find a way to replace or modify their DT handlebars? I can easily live with the current setup, but I had thought that for under $100 for replacement bars the upgrade would be worth it.

Ride safe.
