Other Aftermarket Pole?

[701FreeRide]

What is the best aftermarket pole to buy?

Also is it worth the extra money for a RRP Billet vs. RRP Cast and what is the weight difference?

Everyones got their opinions on which pole looks best, but its usually between the RRP and X-Metal. I prefer the RRP because I think it looks best, and the adjust ability is a lot easier. As far as Cast and Billet, there is no real difference, the Billet ones have a much cleaner finish, but thats about it.

there were some issues with some of the early RRP cast poles where the chin pad bracket "could" break, but there is an additional spacer bar that no one ever runs that stops that happening

i ran a Cast RRP pole for a couple of seasons and didnt have any issues with it

obviously i run an ATP billet pole now and love the fit an finish of it, it is subtly different to the RRP pole with the pole bend being in the tubes rather than in the top bracket which saves some weight and gives a cleaner look - IMO, but some would say that biased, its not but there you go

Alot of guys like the x-metal adjustable pole too as it has a more "stock" look

just cut glue bolt and glas. DONE!

(you can go shorter but never longer.)

I havent wieghed them, but I brought in both RRP billet and cast poles for some of my customers. The billet ones are waaay lighter just to pick up by hand, and they look so much better too.

I put on a adj X Metal last week and rode with it for the first time today and LOVE it. Cheapest option out there and the lightest by far! (as far as adj poles go)

Ditto, only drawback I have seen is poor finish on some but I painted mine.
