FAQs

What is the difference between SE and Contour handlebars?

The SE (seven eighths) handlebars are the 'braced' style, offering classic looks and durability with a standard 7/8" diameter. Contour handlebars are 'unbraced' and utilize Pro Taper's Taperwall technology to offer a 1-1/8" clamping diameter with a 7/8" control area.

What does 'CR Low Bend' mean?

CR Low Bend refers to a specific handlebar geometry inspired by models like the Honda CR series. It generally offers a lower rise and less sweep compared to other bends, providing a more aggressive or compact riding position.

Are these handlebars compatible with my 1-1/8" triple clamps?

No, the Pro Taper SE series features a 7/8" (22.2mm) clamping diameter. You would need Pro Taper's 1-1/8" handlebars (like the Contour series) or a specific adapter/riser to use with 1-1/8" clamps.

Can I use standard grips with these handlebars?

Yes, the SE handlebars have a standard 7/8" diameter on the control ends, which is compatible with most 7/8" aftermarket grips.

What is the material of the Pro Taper SE Handlebars?

They are constructed from ProTaper AS20 aerospace aluminum, known for its high strength and lightweight properties.

Do the handlebars come with a crossbar pad?

Yes, the 'SE' range is supplied with a cold-forged crossbar and a high-density, branded foam pad.

How wide are these handlebars?

Most SE bar models come 800mm wide with a full 200mm each side for controls.

Troubleshooting

Handlebar feels loose after installation.

Re-check and tighten all mounting bolts for the triple clamp and control perches according to the manufacturer's torque specifications. Ensure the handlebar is correctly seated in the clamps.

Controls (throttle, brake, clutch) are binding or stiff.

Adjust the position of the controls on the handlebar. Ensure cables are not kinked or pinched. Verify that the handlebar bend is compatible and not forcing cables into an unnatural angle.

Graphics are peeling or damaged.

While designed to be scratch and peel-proof, extreme abrasion can cause damage. Clean the affected area gently and consider applying a clear protective film if the damage is minor. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.

Vibrations are excessive.

Ensure handlebars are torqued correctly. Consider using aftermarket grip donuts or bar-end dampeners designed to reduce vibration transfer. Check if control perches are properly lubricated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength due to aerospace-grade aluminum construction.
  • Lightweight design that doesn't compromise durability.
  • Enhanced rider comfort and control with the CR Low Bend profile.
  • Durable, long-lasting graphics.
  • Secure grip on the clutch side thanks to knurling.
  • Increased fatigue life from the shot-peened finish.

Cons

  • The 'braced' style may not appeal to all riders aesthetically.
  • Requires specific aftermarket clamps if not replacing existing 7/8" handlebars.
  • CR Low Bend might not be optimal for all riding positions or motorcycle types without proper setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Pro Taper SE Handlebars (7/8" diameter) are designed to fit most standard 7/8" motorcycle triple clamps and control perches. Ensure your existing setup is compatible. Installation typically involves removing old handlebars, transferring controls (throttle, brake, clutch, switches) to the new bars, ensuring proper alignment, and tightening all fasteners securely according to your motorcycle's service manual.

Compatibility: These handlebars feature a standard 7/8" (22.2mm) diameter clamping area and control mounting area, making them compatible with a wide range of aftermarket grips, handguards, and control accessories. The CR Low Bend is a specific geometry that may require adjustment of cables and brake lines to ensure proper fitment without binding. It's crucial to verify that this bend suits your riding posture and motorcycle model.

Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your Pro Taper SE Handlebars, clean them regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the graphics or finish. After washing, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Periodically check all mounting bolts and control clamps for tightness.
