We cut our bars at the number two marking and its perfect. We also made the right side drill hole more rectangular to match the knub. We started with small bits and worked up. It took longer then expected but it was a perfect fit. Like the vids brotha 👍🏽

Man can’t wait till my local dealer gets my 2023 grom at the end of the month 🤞. I already purchased all my parts including the same pro taper bars. That pipe cutter hack you did I’m gonna copy 👍🏻.

Already looking great brother! I went with Renthal Lows because it seems like EVERYONE else is doing pro tapers or clip ons. I love my Renthal handlebars but I can’t deny that the Pro Tapers look great.

Cool mod i did on my gen 2 grom was use the tinted lens glass from a cb500 which use the same indicators, then used a 2 pin flasher unit and l.e.d bulbs which give you white driving lights that are always on but flash orange when you indicate left or right, gives more visibility at the front having 3 white lights and the tint looks grey instead of goofy orange.

You may know this but protaper make a XR50 bar, thay are same length as the stock and higher,no Risers needed, thay are spot on man✌
@MotorcyclerideCyprus2 жыл бұрын
I presume they are the KLX110 Protaper Bars? I went with the XR50 Pro Taper bars! they are much higher! more akin to stock! but they were difficult to fit and there was not enough room each side before the bars began to bend! so the levers were on a bit of an angle! I fitted them after watching another guy on KZbin recommending them! but his install video I think hid the same problems I was having! he should have highlighted the fact because of the short length each side the stock levers would be unusable! but by me putting shorty levers on I sorted out most of the problems! The stock levers were way off and unusable with the XR50 Bars! Especially the clutch lever! Although I like the look of mine now! I would recommend watching your installation videos which give a more honest view and opinion on installing the modification accessories available! Other people then fit risers to your Pro Taper bars lifting them up a little!

These are the ProTaper Seven Eighths (SE) model for Honda Minis. It’s a great profile and height for a bar. It seems that cutting to the “2” mark is as far as you can cut this and still fit the controls on the straight part of the bar.
@christophercoffin61262 жыл бұрын
I have the same problem with my XR50 I was trying to keep the same height as stock with a better looking profile. I’m looking for something different as well the klx110 are too short and too wide for my wife’s liking.

So the ones on the video are the pro tapper XL R 110, am my correct? Basically what's the model number on the yellow bike protaper handle bars?

Looking good. I did a diy tail tidy on my 2022 grom but really want to clean it up with one that makes it look factory

How did u Measure to know exactly where the holes go
@eastcoastish2 жыл бұрын
The controls open in half, so I put it where it lines up with the grips and everything else and then use a razer blade to score the bar where I need to drill the hole for the nub. This is definitely one of those measure twice, drill once scenarios :)

Shouldn't have to do any cutting or drilling, pro taper should do all the necessary requirements.
@eastcoastish2 жыл бұрын
Since people prefer different lengths though and different bar positions, the holes would vary, although maybe they should offer a “standard” option for those that don’t want to customize.
