Pro Taper 1-1/8 Inch Universal Rubber Mount Kit for Honda CR CRF Kawasaki KX

These ProTaper Risers are sweet. They are very light. Love the gloss black. Only wish the bolt was threaded the whole way. I used a tap and die set to finish my treads so I wouldn’t I have to use about eight washers as spacers. I just don’t like the look the quality is great and the fit was perfect for my pro taper contour TV, mid handlebars. I decided to mod my 2003 ZX nine ninja and put dirt bike handlebars on it. I think they look great so far. Feels very solid.

This was perfect for installing oversized bars on KX250f. If your Kawasaki has the double mounting position in the triple clamp. You will like have to cut the bolts shorter to clear some of the wires and ecu mount. See attached photos.

So pictured here are the stock dr650 mounts, the bolts that go through the original rubber bushings are smaller bolts than what is supplied with the pro taper risers. I had to drill out the stock rubber/metal bushings to make it work. Also the supplied bolts that fit into the risers aren’t hex shaped. If you need to supply a longer bolt of your own you’ll have to modify the hex head with a grinder. I later added a platform to plug in a gps and a cell phone, the maybe 3/8 steel that is installed between the risers was too large for the original bolts supplied with the pro taper risers. I could not find a threaded bolt that was long enough and had enough threads in metric. I found a 7/16 bolt with the appropriate threads and that worked fine although I now have a 5/8 hex head on my Japanese bike. No real problems installing if you’re willing to do some head scratching, have a drill press and an angle grinder you should have too much issue. People that don’t have any of these tools, you will at the minimum have to have the original handlebar bushings bolt hole enlarged to fit the new larger bolts. I see most people are using the smaller stock bolts. This is unacceptable in my opinion. You can do that and many people have, but the stock bolts are a sloppy fit. It’s just not right in my opinion. Ok, in the photo the two bolts pictured, the first is original and 10mm, the next is what’s supplied with the pro taper mounts and they are 12 mm (you already see the problem) and my final solution was to supply my own 7/16 inch which is approximately a hair over 11mm. Hopefully this makes sense to someone installing on a dr-650 on other bikes installation may be much easier.

Cant beat pro taper. The mounts are strong sturdy and reliable. The bar fit perfect. Wouldn't choose any other mount. Love it. However if you are wanting to do what I did. The bolts that come are to long to be put through the top yoke so i just used some 10mm bolts and ground down one edge then rounded off the other corners. Turned my 07 gsxr1000 into a different bike. Comfortable as ever.

This was purchased for installation with Pro Taper Contour Woods High handlebars on a 2011 Suzuki DR650 The mount is quality constructed. These will install on a DR650 as long as you use the original bolts as the ones supplied were not designed to fit on the DR. These mounts are not compatible with the TCI Windscreen because the bolt heads are recessed into the mount. If you wish to use these and install a TCI Windscreen you will have to buy two longer bolts and stack washers into the recess until they are flush with the face of the top of the mount. Anyway, I could go on but I won't, they are a good product.

4 plus years going strong I can't recommend this enough

Will not work on Ltz 400 seem to be a nice product tho

Had a Pro Taper fat 1 1/8 bar with adapter to fit 7/8 clamp, ordered these removed my 7/8 clamps, drilled out washers to 1/2" (the size of bolts that mount clamps to triple top clamp) on rubber cone tapered bushings that were OEM, threw away OEM spacers, mounted these on stock holes (no need to drill out top triple clamp, holes are plenty big) with OEM modified bushing and torqued to specs provided in instructions that came with clamps worked PERFECT on My DRZ400SM.
