The bars are thicker for oversized. But for district oversized bars the inner diameter of the bars are still standard size but the outer diameter are oversized. So oversized district bars will work with standard forks but I think any other kind of oversized bars you will need to get bigger forks or maybe there is a oversized peice that will slide over the forks. (I'm not exactly sure what you do to fit oversized bars on forks)

Ok so I am looking at get the district V2i deck with lucky smx forks, then I am getting the oversized district al2 bars and I want to use tilt SCS. I know I need to cut the slits off of the bottom of the bars, so it will take about 2" off but then won't it add some height from the tilt SCS? I am shooting for 24" bar height so I am not sure what size AL2 bars I should buy to achieve 24".

Just get the xl district bars, I think they're 26" anyway
If they're too tall with scs you can always cut them down

Is there a star nut in the bar though? Is it at a certain spot? Can I just cut past it then just put it back in the bars? I am not sure what a star nut does.

Steel Oversize bars are not thicker, they have a bigger outside diameter as well as a bigger inside diameter than Standard bars.

OS bars are designed for HIC or Full size SCS


Aluminum bars are different: since they are ALuminum the wall thickness of the Tubing needs to be thicker to be strong enough. Since they have thicker walls the outside diameter makes them the same size on the outside as Oversize bars but the INSIDE diameter is the same as Standard bars.

You can only use Aluminum bars on ICS or Full size SCS

they are not compatible with HIC.

I think TILT SCS only works with standard bars.
EDIT_ looks like TILT has 2 SCS

SCS= Standard and OverSize
SCS LT= Standard only

make sure you order the correct SCS :)

Yeah I am gonna go with SCS so that means if I get the 25" district bars I can cut past the star nut and it will still be good to use with SCS?

You'll need a 2nd person but try putting a Flathead screwdriver in the slit at the end of the bars and twist the screwdriver sideways- this should spread out the slit and make it easier to pull off the bars.

I've had to use a rubber mallet on my son's bars once. They can get stuck.
