Description Barkbusters BTC-00 handlebar clamp set for straight 28.5 mm handlebars

The BTC-00 is the Barkbusters clamp set for straight 28.5 mm handlebars: the part that clamps onto the handlebar, plus the bar-end weights and hardware.

The manufacturer specifically lists the Renthal Twin Wall and Barkbusters VSBar as compatible handlebars.

It is not a mounting kit

The manufacturer states this explicitly: no aluminum bar and no protective plastics. It is a component, not a complete system.

If you are starting from scratch, you need a complete mounting kit plus the BSS-00 clamp set, or a complete handguard.

BTC-00 or BSS-00? They are not the same thing

What you need Code
You already have a BHG-001 or EGO-201 kit and need to adapt it to a 28.5 mm handlebar BSS-00, clamps only
You need the complete clamp, including bar-end weights BTC-00, this product

When you actually need it

  • Replacement. You have damaged or lost a clamp and want to put your existing system back into service.
  • Adaptation. You have installed a Renthal Twin Wall or VSBar and need the correctly sized clamp for the handlebar you have.

What you will find in the package

  • Clamps for straight 28.5 mm handlebars.
  • Bar-end weights for handlebars with a 14 mm internal diameter. One size only, unlike the BSC-STD, which includes two.
  • Mounting hardware.

What is NOT included

  • The aluminum bar.
  • The protective plastics.

Why choose it
  • La misura giusta per i manubri maggiorati. 28,5 mm è la sezione dritta del Renthal Twin Wall e del Barkbusters VSBar.
  • Rimetti in servizio il sistema che hai. Sostituisci il morsetto rovinato senza ricomprare barra e plastiche.
  • Adatta la barra a un manubrio nuovo. Utile dopo aver montato un manubrio maggiorato.
  • Ricambio originale. Stessa geometria e stessi materiali dei morsetti di primo equipaggiamento Barkbusters.
  • Prodotto in Australia. Barkbusters è un marchio di Rideworx Pty Ltd, che produce paramani dal 1984.
Who is it recommended for

A chi ha un manubrio maggiorato con sezione dritta da 28,5 mm, tipicamente un Renthal Twin Wall o un Barkbusters VSBar, e deve sostituire o adattare i morsetti.

A chi ha già un sistema Barkbusters sulla moto e ha rovinato il morsetto in caduta.

Non è la scelta giusta per chi parte da zero: serve un kit di montaggio completo con il set cavallotti BSS-00, oppure un paramano completo.

Assembly and documents

Le istruzioni ufficiali INS-BTC-00 sono allegate a questa scheda.

  1. Verifica con un calibro che la sezione dritta del manubrio sia da 28,5 mm e che il diametro interno del tubo sia da 14 mm.
  2. Rimuovi i contrappesi originali e, se necessario, i morsetti precedenti.
  3. Monta il morsetto sulla sezione dritta, senza serrare.
  4. Inserisci il terminale nell estremità aperta del manubrio.
  5. Fissa la barra in alluminio al morsetto e al terminale, portala in posizione e serra.
  6. Verifica il funzionamento di gas, freno anteriore, frizione e interruttore di arresto prima di partire, poi ricontrolla il serraggio dopo i primi 50 km.

Frenafiletti di media resistenza su tutti i fissaggi. Il produttore considera il montaggio dei paramani un intervento rilevante per la sicurezza, da affidare a un tecnico se non hai dimestichezza.

Manufacturer

Barkbusters è un marchio di Rideworx Pty Ltd, azienda australiana che progetta e produce paramani per moto dal 1984.

Il produttore tiene separati non solo la struttura e le plastiche, ma anche i singoli componenti della struttura: i morsetti si acquistano da soli, così che un sistema danneggiato si ripari invece di sostituirlo per intero. Barkbusters produce inoltre un proprio manubrio a sezione variabile, il VSBar, per cui questo morsetto è la misura corretta.

It is not an assembly kit

  • These are just the clamps. If you already have a kit and only need the jumper, the code is BSS-00.
Only the clamps, not the handguard

Only the clamps, not the handguard

The package contains the clamps, terminals, and hardware. The aluminum bar and the plastic parts are not included. It is a system component, not the system.

For Renthal Twin Wall and VSBar

For Renthal Twin Wall and VSBar

28.5 mm is the straight section of oversized off-road handlebars. The manufacturer specifically mentions the Renthal Twin Wall and its own VSBar: these are the two typical cases where this clamp is needed instead of the standard 22 mm one.

Be careful not to confuse it with the BSS-00

Be careful not to confuse it with the BSS-00

Two different codes for 28.5 mm handlebars. The BSS-00 is only the U-bolt set, to be added to an already purchased BHG-001 or EGO-201 kit. This BTC-00 is the complete clamp, including the terminals. Before ordering, check what you already have.

FAQs

For more information, see our FAQ of frequently asked questions.

What exactly does this kit contain?

Only the clamps for a 28.5 mm straight handlebar, the bar ends for a 14 mm internal diameter, and the hardware. The manufacturer explicitly states this: no aluminum bar and no protective plastic.

Is this all I need to install the handguards on my motorcycle?

No. This is not a complete mounting kit: it is only the part that clamps onto the handlebar. The aluminum bar and plastic parts are also needed.

So what is it for?

To replace the clamps on a Barkbusters system you already have, or to adapt a bar you own to a straight 28.5 mm handlebar, typically after installing a Renthal Twin Wall or a VSBar.

What is the difference compared with the BSS-00 set?

The BSS-00 is the only 28.5 mm handlebar clamp set, which is added to an already purchased BHG-001 or EGO-201 kit to adapt it to those handlebars. The BTC-00, on the other hand, is the complete clamp, including the terminals. If you already have a kit and only need the clamp, the code is BSS-00.

I have a Renthal Twin Wall: is this the code?

Yes, the manufacturer explicitly lists the Renthal Twin Wall among the reference handlebars for this part number, along with the Barkbusters VSBar. They are handlebars with a straight 28.5 mm section.

What is the Barkbusters VSBar?

It is the variable-section handlebar produced by Barkbusters, with a straight section measuring 28.5 mm. Like the Renthal Twin Wall, it requires clamps sized for that diameter, hence this code.

My handlebar has a different inner diameter than 14 mm: will it fit?

The BTC-00 includes a single terminal size, for an internal diameter of 14 mm. This differs from the BSC-STD, which includes two. If your tube has a different internal diameter, contact us before ordering.

What do I need to buy if I’m starting from scratch?

Not this one. If you don't have anything yet, a complete mounting kit like the BHG-001, plus the BSS-00 clamp set for 28.5 mm handlebars, or a complete handguard, would be best.

Is my handlebar 22 mm or tapered: which code do I need?

For the 22 mm straight version, you need the BSC-STD, or the BTC-22 if you have limited space for the cables. For the tapered version, you need the BTC-06.

I broke a clamp while climbing: can I buy just this one?

Yes, and that’s one of the reasons it exists. Replace the damaged part and keep the bar and plastics.

Should I remove the counterweights?

Yes, because the system also anchors to the end of the handlebar using the included bar-end weights. The Barkbusters replacement for the bar-end weights is code B-066, listed in the catalog.

Do I need to recheck the tightening after installation?

Yes. Barkbusters asks you to check the tightness of all screws again after the first 50 km and recommends using a medium-strength threadlocker on all fasteners.
