BansheeGav Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi Guys. New here today, form UK. Saying Hello but have a question, first of many probably. Can I fit any of the Pro Taper Handlebars to my standard steering shaft. I have seen the handlebar mounts that pro taper supply but obviously my standard steering shaft has fixed bottom half of the mounts so cannot be changed. Do I have to change the whole shaft for an aftermarket job? I used to use Pro Tapers when I was motocrossing and I really like them.

Glenyboy Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hey where in the uk are you from? I live down in Essex, I just got a set of trailtech bars with their dash clamp as I'm running a vapor speedo. Got a good deal on it all was about £170 ( bars, clamp, and speedo) off of eBay( u.s. Version) separately it works out at £270, it all looks good too and come in a range of colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenyboy Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Oh cool not that far from me, are there many places to ride round your way? What type of riding are you doing on it? I've read of an enduro place for quads in Kent and they'res a mx/supercross track in Maldon. I've only recently bought mine too and am converting it to use on the road, as I put before the trail tech bars are nice and one piece like the pro taper, don't know if the bend is similar, but they look miles better than the renthals I had.
