they are pretty sweet looking.
I don't know how easy it would be to cleanly drill through the CF to mount up the controls for your Monster. If it is doable, that would be a clean mod - how much lighter are they than stock bars?
tasty! [drink]
I've posted weights for these somewhere on the site, they are 1 ounce more than the stock magura bars. They are carbon wrapped aluminum btw, drilling will be easy.
I was going to order them, however I couldn't find specs on the pull back/up so I passed.
For the CR hi pro tapered bars
These are the measurements for the CR High Bars.
Width: 795mm
Height: 95mm
Rise: 70mm
Clamp Area: 205mm
Sweep: 57mm
Right on the site mang ;)
holy crap that's pretty...

H'mmmmmm. Carbon fiber that *adds* weight. I guess it's OKAY to paint
that carbon fiber, right?
(Scratches head, wanders off, perplexed, whistling tunelessly....)
i suppose that will shatter easily in a 0 mph tip over?
Looks nice.
What a coincidence! Those pics are originally from Maximum-suzuki.com. A guy on there blinged/modded his Bandit 1200S into a naked bike.

"The bars are constructed with a super light weight aluminum base and a 100% Carbon Fiber Shell. This method drastically reduces weight and strength over the standard all aluminum Fatty bars"
I feel a dumb question about to erupt from myself....
What the heck are fatty bars?

Reducing weight... that's cool.
Reducing strength? Wait a second... ;D
Parts like this make realize CF really has become the sportbike equivalent of chrome on Harleys. It's pretty, but often as not, it for form rather than function.

Agreed. . .
But do you really think they meant to convey their bars are weaker? I bet they're the same as any. They just look like CF.
I think what they mean by fatty is that, in general, aluminum bars have to be thicker to be as strong as steel, even though they can still weigh less.
Most bars are 7/8" in the middle, "fatty bars" are 1 1/8" in the middle and taper.
I'm running a bar that's nearly identical to this on my Hyper.
Love it. And drilling for the controls was no problem.
On my old S4 I had a set of CF bars in my clip-ons that were pure CF with no aluminum core.
A low-side at Deal's Gap snapped one of them off.
Lowsides snap off even the aluminum ones.
Don't feel bad ;D

Surely "reduced strength" is an editing error.
Who advertises reduced strength as a benefit???
