Re: [RBW] boscomoose - pictures, experiences, comparisons?
Also, unlike others I am not bothered by the flex of either the 550 wide steel Bosco on the Clem or the 580 wide aluminum one on the Gus. But I only weigh 170 lbs. and have virtually no weight on my hands. The Boscomoose I had was noticeably stiffer which I did not necessarily like.Sent from my iPhoneOn May 20, 2023, at 12:41 PM, Paul Richardson wrote:howdy folksi've been doing the best digging i can and cannot seem to wrangle very many pictures of rivs with boscomoose bars. have you tried them? did you like them? i ride big bikes, so i'm not too concerned about knee strike on the bar-ends, which i gather can be a drawback for some. their fixedness obviously makes for a riskier purchase than separate stem+bars, so i'd love to hear your experience before i take the plunge!thanks in advancepaultakoma park, md. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] boscomoose - pictures, experiences, comparisons?
Hi Paul. I have Bosco bars on both my Clem L & Gus. Love the look of the Boscomoose so searched for & bought one. It was a no go for me. Length was fine but not being able to adjust the tilt did not work for me - they were just too “flat”.On my Clem I have a 135 FacePlater stem & get zero slippage unless I start doing some drops.On the Gus (threadless) I have the Nitto V5 stem & it is very solid - unless I do drops. On the Gus I have tried a few drops & there is just too much leverage - the bar slips. So I just don’t do drops. I might be persuaded to try one of the Boscomoose for threadless bars on the Gus, but those are even more hard to find than the quill version.Sent from my iPhoneOn May 20, 2023, at 12:41 PM, Paul Richardson wrote:howdy folksi've been doing the best digging i can and cannot seem to wrangle very many pictures of rivs with boscomoose bars. have you tried them? did you like them? i ride big bikes, so i'm not too concerned about knee strike on the bar-ends, which i gather can be a drawback for some. their fixedness obviously makes for a riskier purchase than separate stem+bars, so i'd love to hear your experience before i take the plunge!thanks in advancepaultakoma park, md. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] boscomoose - pictures, experiences, comparisons?
I had them on my Hunq when I first got it, and liked them well enough. Also experimented with non-moose Boscos and like others have mentioned found them way too flexy. When I went back to the mooses I found myself sitting more upright than I wanted, which maybe would be less of an issue for current stretched-out Riv designs. I have since settled on Jones bars and find them to be a great match for the Hunq. I would also consider Tumbleweed Persuader bars. I like wide handlebars and I do not lie (h/t Sir Mix-a-Lot). Whatbars.com is a helpful resource.Jay LonnerBellingham, WASent from my Atari 400On May 20, 2023, at 9:41 AM, Paul Richardson wrote:howdy folksi've been doing the best digging i can and cannot seem to wrangle very many pictures of rivs with boscomoose bars. have you tried them? did you like them? i ride big bikes, so i'm not too concerned about knee strike on the bar-ends, which i gather can be a drawback for some. their fixedness obviously makes for a riskier purchase than separate stem+bars, so i'd love to hear your experience before i take the plunge!thanks in advancepaultakoma park, md. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] boscomoose - pictures, experiences, comparisons?
howdy folks i've been doing the best digging i can and cannot seem to wrangle very many pictures of rivs with boscomoose bars. have you tried them? did you like them? i ride big bikes, so i'm not too concerned about knee strike on the bar-ends, which i gather can be a drawback for some. their fixedness obviously makes for a riskier purchase than separate stem+bars, so i'd love to hear your experience before i take the plunge! thanks in advance paul takoma park, md. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
