    Anyone running Pro Taper bars - ATV high??

    I'm just trying to make sure that the upwards bends are AFTER the clamps.

    This is on my 350X, 250R is probably similar.

    Too many bars don't fit our ATC upper tripple bar clamps without half of the bend being in the clamping area.

    I can't even find a chart online.....

    Where are you ordering your bars from? Dennis Kirk? The paper catalog has the bend numbers.

    I've noticed that CR Hi and other comparable bars have a super-wide bar mount area, but the ATV Hi's are probably pretty narrow. How wide are the clamps on your 350X?

    ATV high is damn near 400ex bend if I remember right.

    I love em, and I know alota other people do to. I wouldnt run another type on my 3wheeler, I tried CR Mid bend it felt like I was a hunchback leaning so far forward at a awkward angle for so long.

    All in all, do it!

    i run the Pro Taper ATv Highs, great feel. Probably put them on my 350x too. Go on ebay, they have all sorts of bars, clamps, grip combos for around $60.

    I also believe the ATV Highs have the largest sweep of the bars. The Ebay auctions have alot of the dimension info and diagrams

    Those ones that Honda250SX is showing you do not require oversize clamps due to them being the standard 7/8" diameter.

    As far as DK goes, they don't carry ProTaper per se, but they have Tag bars, which are the same exact product. They also have Renthal FatBars which are again, identical.

    I bought some cheap atv high bars for the T3 because i didn't care for the feeling that the front was lower. I'm not sold on the appearance but they feel great when sitting on it. They also cleared the stock mounts without issue, but i can't say much for anything else...

    Man, that SX looks nice! I think you should swap the SX and Z bar setups... the oversize bars would look nicer and help out with armpump when you're riding hard.

    I have a set of CR Hi bend 'Tapers on my YZ80... not really helpful but you gotta remember the oversize clamps add another half-inch of rise. Not a lot but it will affect ergos if you're really picky.

    I have the ProTaper Contour ATV High bars on my 250R with the adapter clamps. I was worried about them fitting before I bought them and emailed ProTaper and the guy responded that there should not be any issue, so I bought them and just rode it saturday with them on. I like them alot better than the 7/8's Rentral ATV Racer bend bars I had on before.
