Classic
Questions:
Why 12.5 oz.? The old ones were 12 3/4 to 13oz.
The new way of specifying the mass of the Classic
weight does not include the mounting kit, which varies with
each installation. On average, the installation kit more than
makes up for the slightly lighter weight specification.
Why pick the Classic tm over the Pounders tm?
If you want a throttle lock but vibration is not a
concern, this is our lighter size. If you want conservative
styling, this design calls less attention to itself than the
Pounders tm. Some people enjoy the ability to hold their
hands a little further out on the bar ends, for leverage (though we
strongly recommend against putting more than your little finger
over onto the weight, as some fitments are not stout enough to be a
good handhold in an emergency). When we recommend it, it is because
that's all the mass you need to get the job done.
How much do the bar ends add to the width of thebike?
As you can see in the tech drawing, the Classic tm weights
and throttle locks are 1.999" long. With straight bars like
drag bars or MX bars, this means a nearly 4" increase in
width. However, the more the bar ends are angled toward the
rider, the less the width goes up. For instance, a 30 degree
pullback on the grips will grow just less than 3.5" in total width
with the addition of weights or a throttle lock.
