Looking for new bars, anyone swap out for Renthals, Answer, Pro Taper.....are they still around? Lol
I run Moose high rise ATV bars on my XR650R, and I'm kinda looking for the same rise and pull back.
And yes, I did the 2 up and 1 back risers.
What you got?

The Harley bars are 1 1/4” in diameter at the mounting clamp. Most ADV bars are 1 1/8”.
Bung King has new risers that are 1 1/8” and multiple different heights. Protaper has an ADV bar with nice bends. Be careful with the bar rise as it gets really close to the windshield.
I added the Helibar 2” risers. This let me rotate the factory bars up and forward. Very comfortable for me. I’m 6’ tall with 36” arms.
Good luck, Ron P.

I havent bought the bars yet, but did see most bars are 1-1/8". I have used reducer clamps on my dirt bikes.
Ive been looking at the pro taper adv high bars

Pan America bars aren’t bad just rotated too far down to clear the windshield. Helibar risers moved them back 2” and up 2”. I rotated the bars and controls up so I guess I’m really at 1” back and 3” up. Works for me.

I did the risers, still a little too short for me,
I went 3" up on my XR650R,
I did the pazoma risers, and its just not enough,
Im thinking getting the 3 adventure bars from Pro Taper and just testing them out, Ill get clamp bushings for the 1-1/8" bars and test drive them.
