Pro Tapers Rock!

(1/3) > >>

matzilla:
I was noticing recently that my hands were being vibrated right to sleep when riding in the neighbor's field.  Decided to go get a set of the Pro Taper bars.  Got the CR High bend with the replacement mounts for rubber mounting.  I didn't want to stack an adapter on top of my stock mount.  The instructions for the new mount said to tighten the mounting bolts to 27 pounds.  When I removed the old mounts I noticed the stock mounting bolts were nowhere near this torque.  The rubber cones looked to be in great shape so I reused them.  The new bars look sweet on there!  I love the feel, and no more vibration!  Next I want to do that CR clutch perch and lever.

blueoval:
I run the same bars with the same bend.  They are great.  Still a little vibration though.

hughes:
I run pro taper 1 1/8 bars and will never use anything else. The key to the big bars is the flex they offer. Is yours the 1  1/8 bars? I can't view your pictures for some reason.

matzilla:
Yep.  They are the 1 1/8

Danger4u2:
matzilla,
I run the Pro Tapers also.  I changed to the 2008 Honda CRF450R front brake master cylinder so the hose would clear the hand guard frame. I did not change the clutch perch.  Why do you want to change the clutch perch?
