This job was brutal. This dude makes it look easy and I’m mad about it. Watch this video a couple times before starting and you’ll be pretty well prepared. To mark the holes for the controls I actually put everything on the bike with e-tape where the pins on the controls would go. When I lined everything up where I wanted and righted it down the pins marked the e-tape and that’s where I drilled. Worked pretty well

@jjse79 2 года назад

Nice tip 👍🏻

@yourwifesboyfriend6081 11 месяцев назад

I just finished up today, had my bars cut and tapped waiting around for 1fngr to come out with their v4 clutch perch/lever. I tapped them by hand with no vice, just drilled the tap until it bit, then worked it with a wrench and a pipe while sitting on the bars. It was a royal pain in the ass but came out way better than I expected. The other pain in the ass was bending that clutch cable housing. Had to break out my trusty pipe again to work that housing straighter, but the wrench and bar threads broke through the electrical tape and marked up the housing. Not the end of the world, though. I appreciate you putting this video together, it really helped. Glad to have the bars on too, they should’ve come like that stock.

That was the best bar change tutorial I've seen yet. Now I know I can do this myself. Question for you though, what made you choose the evo over the contour?

Thanks! As for the difference, I've heard that the EVO is their top of the line bar and helps absorb vibrations better. I haven't tried the Contour so this is only hearsay. Ride safe and let me know if you have any questions when you do yours.

@richardjustice1228 5 лет назад

Be good if Pro Taper made model specific bars. As is, this installation is way beyond most of us. It's the most labor intensive bar installation I have ever seen. The only thing you didn't do was bend the tubing.

You can get by without cutting the bars. You can also use non threaded bar ends to eliminate that part as well.

@stephenspiteri_zunkus 3 года назад

I'm ready to change my stock bars to an LSL X00 tapered handlebar which is very similar to the one by Protaper shown here. In this video, I've noticed that the rubber grips were fitted flush to the handlebar ends. In the OEM bars, the rubber grips sit about 15mm proud from the metal bar tube. 02:34 This is so the bar weights have 15mm embedded into the rubber. Motosouth has opted to go for bar end mirrors and so used that 15mm part to attach his bar end mirrors. Motosouth; Would you like to comment and clarify this?

@stephenspiteri_zunkus 3 года назад

Here’s how it is now flush mounted 26:58 and here 02:36 is how it was originally. I’m truly baffled how you ended fitting them like this. Since you had measured and drilled the positioning holes exactly as the stock bars then you should have ended up with rubber grips proud as stock.

@MotoSouth 3 года назад

I had to pull it back outwards the required distance. When I slid it on while filming I went too far. I realized it when I went to mount the controls. Good eye 😂

@phrank2k11 3 года назад

Doing this mod soon. Why did you pick 5/8" as the amount to cut off instead of cutting them to the same width as the stock bars? Does trimming them to stock width not leave enough room before the bend for the brake/clutch/switches to be attached?

@MotoSouth 3 года назад

I wanted them slightly wider. Cutting them stock width should still leave enough room for controls though. Just measure to be safe. 👍

@phrank2k11 3 года назад

@@MotoSouth I put the bars on before cutting them. Then I put the brake master cylinder on as far as it would go before it got to the curve and marked where the locating dowel would be. I measured the stock bar from the locating hole for the brake master cylinder to the end of the bar and transfered that measurement to the ProTaper bar. I found that 3/4" is about all that I could cut from each side before the controls get to the bend. After trimming them 3/4" on each side they were only roughly 1/4" wider than stock width overall. I then failed miserably to protect the bendy tube at the lever end of the clutch cable while (un)bending it and put a couple deep scratches in it 😲 A few touches from a Sharpie and you can't see it from 5'....but I still know they're there 😭 All in all, I'm happy with the outcome and am very grateful for you comprehensive tutorial.
