Sorry Leith, only black and white Suzuki crossbar pads I've ever seen were on the DS80's but they are small (160mm) Maybe buy 2 and do a cut and shut job but still available new over the counter for $15 or so rather than the fleabay item...maybe something you'll need to have made especially if you really want one.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NOS-SUZUKI-CROSSBAR-PAD-DS80-DS250-LT125-56172-03401_W0QQitemZ270316592731QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?_trksid=p4506.m20.l1116

The listing says DS250 but that's wrong, they never had the pad like the 80.

since last year MA? says you now have to have them in enduros/relaibilty trials etc even have to have them in club days and fun type gymkana events now.  It might only be a MSA thing and not national i dont know?. ive only seen it in supplemtray event regs that come out separate to the MA book.  Im pretty sure they would have already had to been used in MX though???? just like lever balls and plugged bar ends

I had my bike stopped at the Dt nats this year and had to fit a Bar pad before it was allowed to race, somthing to do with it having a cross brace, never run one before so ended up tying a jumper to it with tape, it lasted till race one, then accidently fell off.   ooops

I have gotten strange looks from the scrutineers at most of the road trials that I rode in last year because of the piece of refrigeration insulation that is tape to the cross brace of my XT500 to comply with the rules. There is no specification as to what it has to be and I am not going to spend $40 plus on a piece of vinyl cover foam for anyone.  I saw one guy with a tee shirt taped to his cross brace, and the scrutineers had to accept it, again due to no specifications for the padding in the rules.

tryed to get one of these pads from AMS. well what a headache. emailed them, got a price of $18 US or something. then asked for shipping cost and i got this huge invoice for all these parts like pistons and cables and stuff ??? i replyed saying whats going on, i didnt order this stuff? didnt get a reply to that but did get shipping price but then the previous quote on pad had gone up a few $. i said in your first mail you told me it was $18 can you still do it at the first price you quoted. several days later and no reply. i thought stuff it i will email MXM UK and see if they have some. Got a reply tonight and was told they have 1 left, they told me total cost etc and i paypaled them the money 10 minutes ago and it was all sorted in a very short time. it cost about $36 all up when if i got one from USA it was going to be about $60 ::)

When did this bar pad bullshit become a so called rule? I will not put one on any of my pre '75 bikes any time soon, no matter what some pit nazi tells me. They look stupid and are of dubious benefit when the rider is wearing a full face helmet. I can't believe 5 pages have been dedicated to the subject.  ??? Are you serious that these things cost $36 Leith? I would have thought 5 bucks would cover it. Seriously.

yeah well half of it was about other stuff besides a bar pad, and lots of big photos of stuff makes more pages, if you took out the photos of shock covers, an boots etc it may of only been about 3 pages. Not my fault, but who cares, theres plenty of other topics that go on for ages about so called meaningless crap but it doesnt really bother me as i dont read it.

No, no, no....I'm not blaming you or anybody Leith. I'm just surprised so much discussion could go on about a subject I've never given any more than a minutes thought to in my whole life. I guess I've missed something.

My whole problem with this, that everyone seems to have missed is that I'm disapointed about being told by MA that I have to fit them to my bike when I shouldn't have to. I've been riding dirtbikes for almost 40 years without one single cross brace injury. If folks like them, thats between them and their god but being told that we have to fit the dumb things to our bikes is a foot in the door for further draconian rules.

Firko ,
I'm pretty sure we will never see a bar pad on your bikes.   :-*  8)
The rules seems to have come out this year.
In the MoM (MA) rules and it's only for MX and SX,pg 147 Rule 17.2.1.5.
I can not find it anywher else for any other discipline.
Then I read Moto-Trails and they have no rule for hair/jewellery or armor  :-\

LWC3077,
DJ Racing asked one question on this forum and it lasted 46 pages with 22240 views,so I reckon ya should be proud your Topic has run for 6 pages.Slap on the back to ya.  :P
cheers alison

If that's right Alison, why was Freaky made to fit one at the Vintage Dirt Track Nats?....As far as I know, there's never been any comittee discussion on the matter.
