FAQs

What material are the Pro Taper SE MX Handlebars made from?

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

How do I know if the Honda Mini Bend is right for my bike?

The Honda Mini Bend is often suitable for smaller bikes or riders preferring a more compact feel. It's best to compare the dimensions and bend profile to your current handlebars or consult your motorcycle's manual and rider preferences.

Can I cut these handlebars to a shorter width?

Yes, the handlebars feature integrated cut guides on each side, allowing you to accurately reduce the width if needed.

Are the graphics durable?

Yes, the handlebars feature scratch and peel-proof 'un-sticker' graphics designed for longevity under harsh riding conditions.

What is the standard width of these handlebars?

Most bar models come at a standard width of 800mm, with approximately 200mm available on each side for controls.

Does this product include a crossbar pad?

Yes, a high-density foam pad is included with the handlebars.

How should I clean and maintain these handlebars?

Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the finish and graphics.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel loose after installation

Ensure all triple clamp bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Check that the handlebar clamps are correctly seated and torqued.

Difficulty fitting controls

Verify that the controls are designed for the handlebar diameter (usually 7/8" for this model). Ensure the grip area is clean and free of debris. If necessary, slightly loosen control clamps for easier sliding.

Bar width needs adjustment but cutting is difficult

Use a high-quality metal cutting tool (e.g., a hacksaw with a fine-tooth blade or a metal chop saw). Ensure the bar is securely held and measure accurately using the integrated guides. Smooth any rough edges with a file after cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  3. If necessary, use the integrated cut guides to precisely reduce the bar width using an appropriate cutting tool. Caution: Measure twice, cut once.
  4. Mount the new handlebars into the triple clamp, ensuring they are centered.
  5. Tighten the triple clamp bolts gradually and evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.
