Moose has a "tapered" bar for about half the price of the competition. Anyone have any thoughts? Are they alloy? Steel? Anyone??

Where did you find information on the Moose flex bars?
I looked on their site, and all Moose had listed was a pad for the "flex" bar.

The Moose "Flex" bars are in the Parts Unlimited catalog YZ bend part number M1004. Retail $79.95 Dealer price is pretty cheap. They also have a mount kit (part# M818-005) for $45.00 retail.
But I didn't want to be the first kid on the block to have one.:eek:

Danman; were they aluminum? I have this crazy idea that they might be steel. I have had no problems with Moose products, but have never seen these bars.
By the way, I think I have an old Greeves around here somewhere that has tapered steel bars!

Ok, here is what I was able to find out. I sent an email to Moose, and asked for some information. Here's what I got.

I think i have these on my drz!! Last fall i bought some fancy moose bars. I think they had just come out. I got them from the zuki shop. I was looking for some taller bars they were there so i bought'em. I got moose bark busters on 'em now so it took out some of the flex. I don't have many rides on them and aren't super aggressive to begin with. I try like hell to avoid spectacular wipe outs that test bar strength. They seem to work ok, The grips are still on'em and when i push pull on them the front wheel generally goes where i want it to. They make my bike look cool! although i think the moose plastic handgaurd plastic is kinda thin!! Sorry dude, don't have enough time on them to give you a worth while report!!

As far as I can tell they are identical to Pro Tapers. I have had them on my bike for about 4 months and have had no problems. The last 2 races (I ride AA in Enduro / HS) I have crashed pretty hard (both eneded up in the bike cartwheeling) and they haven't bent at all. I would recommmend these bars, and I just ordered another set for my fathers bike. The Burleson bend is already cut down so you don't have to hack up your new bars if your a HS / Enduro rider.

Hope this helps.
