Pro taper with no crossbar

(1/2) > >>

BLACKBEARD:
Could I put pro taper bars without the crossbar, on my 03 kx100??

Foxx4Beaver:
I don't see why not...you'll need to change your bar mounts over to 1 1/8" to accept the fatter bars.
the only other concern would be if the cables will still be long enough...you "might" end up having to cut off a little on each end of the bars, then again you might not have to.

don46:
unless your talking about the pro taper 7/8" bars in which case you could but I wouldn't, the crossbar is there for a reason, to add stability to the bars. If your talking about the 11/8" bars then by all means, since they do not have a cross bar

ugh...good point!...I didn't even take into consideration that he could've been referring to the 7/8" with the cross-bar removed...in that case no...only bad and possibly catastrophic things could/would result as soon as you land off a decent sized jump....meaning the left and right side would more than likely snap off flush on either sides of the bar clamp....UGLY!

BLACKBEARD:
I'm talking about the 1 1/8 . So I guess I gotta get the adapters? I could imagine taking out the crossbar couldn't be good. :mrgreen:
