Subject: Last word on Motad Bars - hopefully
Thanks for the replies everybody !
Here is the answer from Motad which may stop somebody wasting their time
and effort on trying to fit Motad bars to a 97-99 bike.
DB72H2 Bars are only available for RD07 up to FT model (1996)
They do not have bars available at present which have been designed
to fit the RD07 FV/FW and FX Models . These are currently not available
but they should have some by end of June.
The part number for RD07 FV/FW/FX (1997-99) will be DB72H3.
The Motad man did say that M+P should not have sold me these bars for my '98
bike !! ( just one more crap experience with M+P so called service )
So it is no suprise that people have had problems with brackets getting
snapped off on the frame - the bars are probably under so much tension that it
is just accelerating the metal fatigue problem for the brackets.
