[edit] Attachment point

The article currently links to Motorcycle fork when it says 'short handles are attached directly to the front forks'. Perhaps it should link instead to the Fork tube article. -AndrewDressel 06:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC) (copied from the merged Clip-on handlebars article)

[edit] "Types of handlebars" only lists specialized types

Currently, the article has these handlebar types listed:

Ape hangers
Beach bars
Clip-on
Cruiser
Drag bars

In which of those categories would the one-piece handlebars on the Ducati in the article, or any other standard motorcycle be? I don't think this list is exhaustive, or even covers the most common case. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.112.152.144 (talk) 01:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC).

Feel free to help fill in the list. -AndrewDressel 13:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clip-ons??

I believe the posting on clip-on handlebars is factually incorrect. Clip-on handlebars have been used since the early 1950's on british racing motorcycles/cafe racers. As such, the invention of the clip-on handlebar cannot be attributed to Arlen Ness. Dxps26 15:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
