I have run Pro-Tapers on lots of different things (currently running a set on my sled). They make a slight difference in armpump, because they flex a little bit when you hit bumps. Also they're nice and light.

Oh yeah, and they look SICK.

Yea I've heard great things about them.. All I would need would be some of those bar adapters like these?

Or are there special adapters for the trikes to fit?

How exactlly do these bolt on to our triple trees though? Looks like it's missing something for that.. any body have pics of pro taper bars on their trikes so I could see?

The bottom half of the clamp bolts to the existing bar mount on the triple. Then the bars can be bolted on in the 1 1/8th adaptors. I run pro-tapers on my 250sx with the same style adapters i got from east cost atv on ebay. Love em. They are the chit!

Yep, the "adapters" are just extra clamps that bolt to the stock bottom clamp. All you need is a set of adapters and a bar, everything else used is stock.

I personally think they are a rip off. Yeah, there great if your trying to be as light as possible but I sure ain't.

I use MSR Carbon Steel ATV Handlebars and have had them hit the ground hard before and not a single bend or tweak.

For about 20 bucks I'm satisfied.
