I'm building a CRF based mini motard/supermoto and need advice on handle bars. I'm running a set of Bombshell forks with a +1 frame... Will be used on both short and long tracks. I've heard the TAG mini play bars are good as well as the Pro Tapers (forgot which model) What are you runnin'?

What's your favorite handle bar and why...

pro-taper se's!!! they just look really good

jigracing · 03-16-2006, 10:04 PM

I have used both the TAG Metals mini play and the ProTaper SE's. Now I am using the P3 BMX bars. For MX style bars I like the ProTapers first followed closely by the TAG Metals. The P3 bars are tall (7.5") and have more sweep back. They are also about 1" narrower on EACH side than the other two bars. So it all depends on what your looking for.

I like my TAG miniplay bars. The P3 are also nice. You probably want a shorter bar for your setup though.

I run the P3's with a bbr clamp on my motard bike. Strongest bars on the market.

I really like the ProTaper SE's, but Sik50s MX bar has the same bend and is cheaper....thick bar too.

Universal.

If you decide to go with the Tags, hit me up I think I might have a set coming.

Ryan Nyquist Signature bars From HARO. They only work with narrow clamps though.

cg5 · 03-17-2006, 10:35 AM

how are mx bars with a bmx clamp?

JohnnyB · 03-18-2006, 06:37 AM

I'm run'n the S&M bikes , Beringer LT's on my motard . It's 27" wide to handle after-market levers and kill switch with room to spare and 8" tall . I'm also run'n the DK bar ends to save the bars + throttle from gett'n wrecked when go'n down . I've already personally crash low sided twice with no ill affects

. I personally like the look of the bars be'n more narrow at the bottom unlike my Pro Taper SE's .

how much are those bars.. and wat clamps work with them

Kovz · 04-16-2006, 12:48 PM

i use pro tapers with my LT6's. strong as ****. crashed a dozen times....... 2 times REALLY hard and there it no bending to them.

i run a mx style and they arent very high, but im a roadracer and i just feel more comfortable with them a little lower.

Smoke · 04-16-2006, 12:52 PM

I'm looking for a set of ProTaper BMX bars that come with the bar kit if anyone has them for sale.

Thanks
