R3R Handlebar and OEM crash bar size

RollingRocker said:

I have a 2012 R3R.

Can someone tell me what diameter the original triumph handlebars for this year are, as well as the crash bars (triumph ones) that protect the engine if you drop the bike?

I am looking to add some accessories and don't know the sizes of those bars.

thanks

I am researching this at the moment. Trying to decide whether or not to buy the OEM crash guards. OEM bars are either 1" or 1-1/4" depending on which one you get. There seem to be 2 generations. The first Gen bars seem to be crap.

Have a read for yourself: http://www.r3owners.net/threads/highway-engine-guard-bars.12351/

If I find out anything about the handlebars I will report back. Unfortunately my R3 is 40 miles away right now, or I'd measure them for you.

Haaaa. Well, considering that they are called "crash guards" or "engine guards", I would consider being able to bend them with "the greatest of ease" would by definition make them the "greatest of crap".
