FAQs
What type of handlebars is this bar pad designed for?
This Pro Taper bar pad is specifically designed for Pro Taper SE and other braced handlebars that feature a crossbar.
What is the main purpose of this bar pad?
The main purpose is to provide impact protection for the rider in case of a fall or collision with the handlebar crossbar, and to enhance the visual style of the motorcycle.
How long is the bar pad?
The Pro Taper bar pad is 8 inches in length.
Can this bar pad be used on non-braced handlebars?
While it might physically fit, it is designed and intended for braced handlebars to ensure proper fitment and function.
How do I clean the bar pad?
Clean using mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow it to air dry.
Does the color yellow fade easily?
Like most colored plastics and foams exposed to the elements, the race yellow color can fade over time with prolonged UV exposure. Storing your bike out of direct sunlight helps mitigate this.
Troubleshooting
Bar pad slips during riding
Ensure the bar pad is fully secured to the crossbar. If your model uses hook-and-loop fasteners, ensure they are clean and tightly engaged. If it's a sleeve design, check that it's the correct size for your crossbar.
Difficulty fitting pad onto crossbar
Confirm that your handlebar is a 'braced' type and compatible with this 8-inch pad. Gently work the pad onto the crossbar, or check for any obstructions.
Color fading significantly
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Store your motorcycle in a shaded area or use a cover when not in use. Regular cleaning can help maintain its appearance.
