Oh man I get it. I get nervous and the fear of screwing up an "upgrade" that'll eventually turns out to be all for nothing. Great job!

[@thepsychicpeach8425]

CC's attention to detail is immaculate. Impressive to say the least.

[@fripszilon]

Measure twice, then measure again, then get ready to cut/drill, then doubt yourself and measure again, then get so fed up that you finally go for it.

[@ParadiseBiker]

0:25 gotta pay keen attention when I'm watching Chaos's videos. Haha, what a surprise to see my name on the screen. The bars look soo much slicker man.. Loving it 💪🏿

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

You are the one other guy.

[@LegendsGarage]

Hey! I know you from somewhere!

[@sedativeacrobat]

As a 10 year machinist let me give you two tips that will save you from having a tap go in cock eyed and possibly breaking. Get a T handle tap wrench and apply load evenly with both hands. Also for hand tapping for in one or two turn then back out a quarter turn. This will cause the chips to break and ease the progress forward. For stainless steel I recommend going less than .5mm or .010" larger on your recommended drill size this will make tapping far easier

[@davidalejandrogarces2781]

Love the way you dedicate to edit every shot on your videos! Greettings from Colombia 🤟🏼

[@AliffFarhanVlog]

the way you present, ur skills in motorcycle is such an inspiration. i really like ur video 🙏🇲🇾

[@SebastianKretzig]

OCD warning, you need to do something about the old mirror sockets... LOL!!!

[@DanteYewToob]

They make cellphone holder mounts and nice threaded plug/caps for them. My sister has both. Her ram mount is attached to one side and the other has a little pink skull threaded into it. Pretty easy and cheap fix! ;D

[@TyoVlog]

That looks so sick!!!!! Cool upgrade CC!

[@eleiaandsteven]

I want a pro taper bar for my R3. You just showed me that there in no way I'm doing it myself. Thank you.

[@riturajborah54]

Liked it even before actually watching it..!! Keep the good stuff coming..!

[@asyrofmuhammad4176]

love the preset "filters" to your videos! So iconic and the attention to details is such an eye pleaser!

[@DeanosRides]

I think you have FAR too much time on your hands! 😂🤣😂🤣 Good job on that new bar man! Looks really good! No go bolt down that vice before you hurt yourself! Again!

[@spassser]

tip ,,when drilling and tapping.. use regular oil insted of thin wd40..works better,,

[@deebunning8456]

Just get some cutting compound it's not very expensive and is a must have when tapping and drilling 👍

[@jbcavitt]

Looks way awesome!! Looking forward to the future upgrades.

[@Tweb42]

I would have just bought some push in and tighten with a an expanding mechanism bar ends, threading bars is a pain in the arse! Good job though

[@machielvandertoorn8758]

I did the protaper bars upgrade on my Suzuki sv650 last week. Although mine was more of a task since I came from clip ons and had to upgrade brake lines and reroute my accelerator and clutch cables. I love the ride position now

[@tiberiudumitrescu5237]

That looks awesome. You did a f really nice job

[@konradsaguide]

I like the stickers, all your mods so far are looking really good

[@classicsalted]

The bike looks lit af. You have great artistic sense. Clean mean and lookin pro

[@coxdevj]

You did a good job. I actually like that dark purple but I'm sure a black and white scheme will look great too.

[@Enesjordanparlak]

Your vids are just amazing You deserve at least 1 mill GET HIM TO 100K

[@unclebuck4329]

Exceptional as always. I really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. Thank you.

[@atharvjadhav8521]

Nice job man. Handlebars are looking awesome and the radiator cover is looking dope....Keep it up CC!!!

[@mattheweastel129]

Very nice looking bar, but strangely the new decals did it for me. Really suits it

[@morenachoz]

That bike is taking with every treat that even envies many. Keep up the good work you do and look forward to seeing the next video CC. Peace ✌

[@f.w.1890]

Thank you! I've been inspired by your video to buy a handlebar for my own bike :) MT-07 2018

[@kylleadlawan8041]

Yep, gonna watch this with some popcorns

[@sirjolly81]

I just bought a 2015 mt09 (Orange tank) and love it minus the suspension. It is the worst on any bike I have had over the years. Even my 04 xt660x was better. Anyway the previous owner failed to mention the thread for one paddock bobbin is gone. Filled in with metal putty. Now I need to get that repaired. I can tap a new thread but this looked like the bobbin was snapped out of the swing arm. Need to figure out how to fill the hole. PS. Don't cut holes for the controls. Cut the plastic stubs of so you can move the controls. Use electrical tape on the bar then mount controls on tape to stop them spinning.

[@HuuThanhHung]

Never give up ... and you will be happy with what you have done! Nice bike and nice vid too!!!!

[@vladosterreicher]

Nice video as always! Keep up the good work and the engine revving!

[@danieldayan6185]

Awesome video, as always. This channel is seriously underrated! For us newbie riders, could you maybe do a video explaining the monthly costs of owning a motorcycle? Keep up the great job man.

[@Julian-yx4we]

Those black bars look so sick on that bike! Also love that they're a bit lower. I have the feeling that if I started doing any upgrades on my bike I'd discover I was missing something, then not be able to ride it for 4 months because it didn't have X attached to it. XD Great work and looking forward to more videos!

[@jasonleitao4182]

It's coming along really nicely

[@jamesferdinand2635]

Nicely done, looks great. I put the Henry Reed pro taper bars on my Z 1000 and love the look!

[@airez13]

CC great content as always, glad to see that you're keeping the channel going even though you left Mzansi. Keep it coming bro

[@jonhewitt3]

I like what your doing to the MT09, gives me some ideas for my bike. You may need to check to see if you need a tail tidy on the seat with the removal of the passenger pegs?

[@simemo75]

Looking much better than stock. Great job!👌

[@HartyBiker]

So glad you got an mt-09 so I can add more mods to my wishlist. Those stickers on the "intakes" are sexy af. Btw, fix the ugly tail light. Get a integrated one that cleans up the rear, it's so worth it dude.

[@lorensdivjak6267]

5:48 where did you buy that clock

[@ChaosCauses]

From a KTM dealership

[@fripszilon]

I thought for sure you were going to take the protaper logo off the bars. Looks great, though!

[@lamemigranano]

Hey man, nice work and nice channel. Which is the size of the drill? Thanks in advance

[@270125776]

Love your video style man! The color too! What kind of color/ filter is that? Looks so cool, watched till the last second

[@dead_rabbit8217]

Had plans to do this myself, but looks like to much work😅 ill go for a stock xsr 900 handlebar instead🤷‍♂️

[@Tawttitude]

Super cool as always!

[@Enesjordanparlak]

1:14 look at the mirror 😂

[@simonegiannini2421]

My MT and yours are surprisingly similar, same Andreani Misano forks, same Öhlins shock (stx46?), same full Akrapovic, same colour, same windshield...when you showed it for the first time I actually checked if mine was still in my garage :P Jokes apart, purple doesn't get me either, I'm planning to paint it with the new mt09 SP graphics (black-blue-silver)

[@adwaithar8680]

I am watching your video when you are 50k and you are going to hit 100k.l wish you will hit 100k soon.#roadto100k

[@almarutn]

Epic mods, lyk baie mooi oom Chaos😉! Love watching your vids, keep up the good work here in Europe and good luck!

[@richardjustice1228]

Hey man, what is the name of the measuring tool you used at 7:22 ? Also what size drill bit did you use for the holes?

[@ankitmartin4104]

Been your Subscriber from 3k ..❤️ Always love the quality of the videos.

[@jacquesventer7789]

I always get nervous when I attempt a mod for the first time, but it feels really good when it works out.

[@Knautschfriese]

Thats a good look for the bike. I like it. Iam exited to see the purple. This is one of my favorite colours :-) My plan is to buy a SV650 and tinker on it with the styling to make a SV650x blue ;-)

[@jesparon]

Should of used a Starter tapered tap. You used an Bottoming tap. Magnetic V block would be better to hold round bar stock in a vice. And a Tapping handle would help instead of a spanner

[@Jaden-up3bg]

TapMagic helps sooo much with the bars

[@adwaithar8680]

Really cool man

[@anasbinhakim4686]

Was waiting eagerly for your video☺️

[@moto_marcel]

Very good lookin now! Love the black !

[@chrispewkreme]

I ran ProTapers on both my old MTs. Only real issue is that it isn’t comfortable. It just sat too low. For stunting it was fine. But for commuting it was too low and uncomfortable.

[@suhasbodavula2893]

Really hard work Keep it up bro.. nice video

[@phant0]

I remember back when I tapped my first thread. It felt like I had gained magical powers.

[@DougZ73]

I know from watching your more current vids, you do not have this bike any longer. With that said, although I run Protapers on my dirtbike, I thought about them for my FZ09 (2017), but I did not want to use them because of the bright white and yellow logo, specifically the yellow. My 2017 has black forks, so I am doing my best to keep my bike almost all back and white.

[@thepsychicpeach8425]

Ahh yes my time has come.

[@DeusRides]

Looking good, man! Looking gooood. Cheers.

[@akshaybagde6325]

0:17 ohhh crap. We have to watch your videos like Canadian Lad now.(as he does with MCU)

[@808Affliction]

I don’t mind the stock handle bars. But good job prepping and installing the bars.

[@xantoshadhikari]

Great As Always 💜

[@fins6561]

Honestly I thought it was just you looking for things to make the background more interesting 😂

[@CChris08]

Great video. Very informative. Thanks!

[@roehitkadam]

you should consider changing the headlights to the new ones. That'll make your MT-09 completely like the newer ones !

[@B1GJuggernaut]

Well done! I have the same fear when doing something new on my own.

[@narrator-timothymckean]

I did the same upgrade on my Honda NC. The drilling was awful, and found i didn't end up with enough space for all the switch gear, and never got the bar ends to work. Ended up switching it all back after about 6 months. What a waste.

[@lukenshee6998]

0 dislikes, keep it up. Nice vid BTW

[@dagsamp22]

A battery drill with low RPMs and some old motor oil would turn that tap job into a 2 minute process. Great video!

[@thomaswilliamson5178]

Do you have a link to where to get the music for your videos? Absolutely loving it!

[@asnawi159]

You can consider putting the Protaper var on the bike for more stability

[@FinnyG47]

That's what I thought, too. Temp mount the bars to cut ends and drill. Cover bike with towels to protect from shavings. Also, pipe cutter instead of saw for more precise cuts.

[@shahfacekillah]

Yeah the new bar looks way better

[@prashantkhadka8418]

You videos really are awesome man .!

[@itsnottheturbo]

What size drill bit did you use?

[@MrRedpik]

Been waiting for this video :D Just received mine today.

[@MrPilgrim609]

Love the bars. Might have to get some myself....and I drill and tap steel all day long so that ain’t no biggie. Got a 500 gram tub of tapping grease on my work bench. Makes it a piece of piss👍🏻

[@Ghazanfierce]

looks lovely...

[@nobis64]

It would have been nice to see before and after videos of bar differences. And differences with person on bike with old handlebars and new ones. Otherwise good detailed install video.

[@manzarshahaan]

You said "cheeky". You're officially British.

[@kainetyrie5355]

4:35 ooo popped to your local B&Q I see :)

[@MrVradley]

Makeing a simple job hard threading them bars not just fixing the vice nown

[@Jonathan-mk8rq]

Nice bike for a nice upgrade So cool Man!

[@eden7786]

Keep the videos coming

[@Niemandeiner]

i love it! where do you get all the parts? especially things like side covers for the adiator. never seen things like that

[@motordemic]

"They grow up so fast" 🤣🤣nice work once again mate🙌🙌 How you settling into the UK?

[@irawanxx3113]

Wow, that was really cool

[@villiamstangeland3608]

Did you find a good way to measure where to drill the new wholes in the protaper bar?

[@neil2470]

Very nice, wish mine had gold forks and not the silver ones. I'd have to get someone to drill the bar for me, I'd just fuck it up 😂

[@koyajayar5992]

Will you do it also to your sports bike for more comfortable riding? But not as much as wide that one 😂

[@adibyasin5495]

I may have missed something, where’s your R1? Great content and editing mate! 👍🏼

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Nice job. I would have all the doubts you had too. But at what cost the bars, tap etc?

[@felixhbr2426]

Using WD 40 for lubricating the tap lmao. Actual madlad.

[@siena547]

Hi Chaos mate I bought a GEN1 MT-09 with aftermarket handlebars fitted very poorly…. They didn’t drill the holes needed to lock the controls in place so everything is misaligned and loose….. I saw you take measurement from your standard bars… can you tell me the distance and placement Of the 3 holes I need to drill mate ?

[@Booba-Fett]

should stick a bit of paint on the bare metal you just drilled and sawed, for protection against the elements

[@liamwr2281]

i love them roads
