I have a 1988. It is a real beaut! Look forward to many years of riding because that engine will never die.

bravos are the bomb. lol That will be the toughest little machine. Let it warm up good cause if you dont they like to blow thier crank seals and burn thier piston down. Im not to sure if you could raise the bars or not. I'll go check the one out in my yard tommorow and see.

I checkd the bars and it looks just like any other handelbar attachment so i would say that yes you can raise the bars.

Spaceballs · 04-05-2008, 08:39 AM

ok, thanks. I've got a summers worth of allowance now to collect and i can get em

I would look this summer at the swap meets! I am looking for a set of wider Yamaha bars for my Ovation!

Spaceballs · 04-05-2008, 03:46 PM

Where are these held? Do they come down here to the rock?

**kccats** · 04-06-2008, 09:59 AM

The Worlds Largest is Hay Days in sept up north of Twin Cities (MN) It is Huge! I will take 2 days just to walk the swap meet, plus there are all the new sleds and vendors, the grass drags and the stunt men! It is really quite the event!

Watch out if you fly any bumps or jumps on the Bravo, the handlebars had a tendency of bending. I've had many friends this winter bend their bars down to their seat. The good thing is that they bend back decently.

Jorel77 · 04-06-2008, 04:59 PM

They will probally bend back 2 or 3 times before they break off.

They are only like 20-30 dollars. You dont need the pivot one cause bravo handlebars already pivot. Im not sure about the brake cable but all the other cables and wires seem to have plenty of slack.

Spaceballs · 04-07-2008, 02:46 PM

Thanks for the info. I'll look into gettin em on this summer. But i gotta fix the bonnet first.

And the headlight.

But all soon enough it will be all fixed.

cheers
