i bought some pro taper med bend bars for my banshee. i took the old ones off put new one on but the pad is rubbing against the key and the plastic box that surrounds the key. should i buy the high pro tapers or can this be fixed. as it is right now it looks like everything is squished together were the key is located. as it sit right now i cant move the bars any more forward.

thanks for any help

Move the key, and get rid of the ugly plastic thing. I know some people just zip tie it under the seat somewhere, while modquad makes a braket to relocate the switch under the seat.

I've got the Pro Taper SE ATV Mid bars and got them to fit fine with the stock key set up. You just have to move the bars so that the cross bar pad fits just between the key and the vent hose, which if you look at the bike from a profile view the bars should be at the same angle as continuing up the steering stem. If that make any sense.

 

Moving/Removing the key presents a whole new pain in the ass imo. I just wanted new bars.

 

good luck!

i would like to keep the stock key set up. if i bought the higher bend would this make a bigger space between the pad and the bottom bar were it mounts to the bike?

or does the space stay the same but the bars go higher?

thanks

How about removing your iginition and tucking it away under your seat? Check this link for ModQuad. This $15 bracket goes directly under your seat and simply re-route the ignition. I think it would look clean and removes clutter from the bars. Oh, Sand Sports Super Show in Cali has these today for $7.
