I used to hasve a Renthal on my DH bike in the '90's - 22.0 clamp shimmed with some alu sheeting to fit a 25.4 clamp.

TBH it's not worth it these days at they're far heavier than modern MTB bars plus the one side is file textured for a grip while the other is left smooth for a throttle, which doesn't look too pretty with short grips.

If you're after an extra wide bar why not try one of [url= http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=72&products_id=532 ]these[/url]?

And make your hands ache like buggery on a hardcore decent. Far more than a decent MTB bar.

Yup. People fitting motorbike bars in 1994.
