After a search for handle bar for Versys, I still couldn't find any concrete recommendation or your experience.

I'd like to have a handle bar replacement:
-7/8 so I dun have to deal with adapter / riser
-similar rise/sweep/width to orginal would be great

At UK forum, Pro Taper SE ATV Lo is suggested for similar rise/sweep, and a bit wider.

Have you changed yours? Any photo? Any other suggestion are ! Thanks~

I've been riding dirt bikes for a while. Renthal is good, I think Pro Tapers are better. I had some SEs on my old bike and they were good and tough.

Why don't you like the OEM's?

I'm going after the cosmetic aspect of this handle bar change.

I like grey or black handlebar more than silver of the OEM. Therefore, I need a good looking handle bar (Pro Taper is good!) which have similar rise/height/sweep/width to the OEM to maintain similar geometry. I know it could never be the same, similar will be ok~

Any suggestion?

Paint the OE bars.

ProTaper ATV Hi's for me... love the change. Slightly taller and wider than stock. Purchased some longer bolts and expanding nuts to add the stock bar-end weights back on after this photo...

hey West, can we get a pic from the side, to get an idea how much higher they are?

Looks so COOL

It seems that it's higher than the OEM one.

Could we have the picts from either side?

My V with the ProTapers and modified seat....

Looks great West! I just ordered Pro Taper SE ATV low's. I'm hoping I made the right move, as the high's look great! Oh well, they're cheap enough to experiment with... that's for sure.

Did you have any problem with cable or brake line length?

Here are a few shots of the new Tag T2 Metals bars compared to the stock V bars. IMO, it's an entire new ride and I absolutely love the higher, wider, less swept position. It just 'feels' better to me. I have an MX/trails background so this new setup feels much more like a woods bike or dirt setup. Stock sweep is 60 degrees, the Tag T2 Factory bar is 55.

With the Tag's are the Rox Risers. Only difficulty I had was tightening the top 2 hex's on the stem clamp. I put tennis racket wrap and thicker grips. The stocks were too skinny and hard. I like a bit larger grip diameter.

Nice looking bars. How is the vibration (or lack there of). What is the difference in the rise?

I find that I am cocking my right hand out to de-crease the angle. These might be a long term answer.

Jerry. Definately less vibes with the aluminum bars, tennis wrap and better grips. The stock bars have a good 2 to 2.5" more rise, but that's what the Rox Risers make up...plus they are infinately adjustable to get you in your preferred riding position.

Hi Mack, how's your Lo? similar to the stock?

Don't know yet.. hopefully they'll be here tomorrow.

Here's the spec's for SE's: http://www.protaper.com/contents/pro...lebars/se.html

Did you get them installed ok? Did you have any problems with it?

And hey WEST, can you answer the same question-any trouble fitting the brake or clutch or throttle on? I just bought the ATV Hi's and before I start I'm wondering. Can you also tell me what the size/thread of the longer bolts and expanding nuts you used to put the bar end weights back on?

I had already posted a new thread regarding this today.

Thanks!

Yup, on and no fitment issues whatsoever.

A bit tedious to get everything in place, but certainly worth the effort.

Hey Mack, nice job! Nice mirrors, where are those from? And the handguards?

SHARP Mack! We want to know...mirrors and guards? Zeta's? Front pics?
