I currently have an oversized bar mount kit and Pro-Taper bars w/ Scotts stabilizer that I run in the desert. I still have the 7/8" mounts and wanted to purchase some aluminum 7/8" bars w/ crossbar to run when I'm just messing around at the local track. I purchased a set of Tag aluminum bars with a crossbar. When I got home, I noticed that these are the Tag T2 oversized bars, yet they had the crossbar on them. OK, that's fine with me, I won't have to put the old 7/8" clamps back on. I realize that this sort of negates the purpose of the oversized bar because the stress is moved back to the 7/8" portion of the bars where the crossbar connects. However, is there a chance that this setup, assuming it was a mistake during assembly at the factory, will be actually less strong than a standard set of 7/8" bars with a crossbar ? Any thoughts would be appreciated !!
