There are allot of discussions surrounding the handlebars on the Icon and the general feeling I got is that they are ugly, too upright and need to be black... To all of these, I agree...
So, pursued a set of Pro Taper bars as these are generally accessible in SA, not knowing which ones will fit ofcourse this was a bit of a trail finding the correct one. Anyway in the end a set of "Seven eights - YZ high's" fitted perfectly on the standard clamps. Positives they were lower by the exact amount I needed, slightly narrower which helps my riding style and of-course in black just to help the colour scheme. Negatives - We'll they're narrower so there's no space for the start - kill switch, luckily that moved easily enough to the lower bend. End result just looks fantastic, ride quality is instantly better as well.
(Apologies for the poor quality pics - my phone is ancient...lol)
