Rubber Mounted Handlebar Mounts

[aremean79]

I am absolutely in love with the Alta MXR but I do have one complaint about it; I am having confort issues on the rigid bar mount.

I race motocross and the braking and accelerating bumps is taking a toll on my ability to hold the bike. I mean, the absence or the clutch and gears are great and I think I can ride longer and feel less tired but the rigid bar mount is giving me arm pump.

I read that changing to a newer KTM triple clamps (rubber mounted handlebar clamps) isnt an option as the bottom of the top triple clamp will hit the chunky Alta tube/frame... so what else can I try to arrest the problem?

Try these handlebars. I have been using them for a few years and they take the edge off the hard impacts.

The flex is not limited to one direction. Really helps when the bike wants to rip the bars from your hands

I have been running a Fasst Company Flexx handlebar on my stiffer suspended MXR with 170psi fork air pressure. It felt like the other bike that had only 160 psi, which brought it just under my pain/fatigue threshold.

The guys at Fasst Company made this handlebar pad with a dash cutout for me. The install was easy.

Nice bars, @Philip. It is also very kind of you to let your grazing herd of Altas watch skateboarding videos so that they don't get too bored while resting and chowing down on electrons. What is their favorite show? Nitro Circus? Supercross? Electric Company?

Good call! That does look funny now that you point it out!

LOL! This is a YouTube video of OneWheel. Neither me nor my herd of Altas are interested in skateboarding, unless it is electric powered! We also like to watch Supercross and outdoors Motocross championships. All other TV is not worth watching, they should be watching us instead.

Dangit, Philip! You missed the opportunity to have RedBull straight rhythm on the TV with a clip of Josh Hill when you took this picture.
