In 1991, Pro Taper introduced the 1-1/8-inch Taperwall handlebar and the industry hasnt been the same since. The Corona, CA based company expanded its product line to include clutches, sprockets and grips, among others, but Pro Taper never turned its back on what landed them in the motocross world. The Pro Taper Contour Handlebar - Oversized is a best seller and made with the same quality as its Standard 7/8-inch Pro Taper brother, its just, well, oversized! Check out the features that come with this solid beast and youll understand why its a must-have on the race course by riders like Nate Adams, Levi Sherwood and Robbie Maddison. Pro Taper Contour Handlebars - Oversized 1-1/8" features: Made with aerospace-grade aluminum and 5 mm wall tubing. Chemically applied scratch and peel-resistant graphics. Knurled clutch side for secure grip hold. 1/4" cut guides for precise width modification. Includes high-density molded pad. Bend and color for every application. Note: Pro Taper Contour Handlebars require the use of 1-1/8 inch handlebar clamps (sold separately).

Great bars
August 10, 2010
"I have had two major wrecks with these bars on two big doubles and they are perfectly straight. Cant say the same for the clamps though...bent two sets of pro taper clamps but the bars stayed straight as an arrow. Won't buy any other bar from now on."

Great Protection
August 10, 2010
"I bought this glide plate after my frame suffered a pretty good nick in a moto. I've had it for about a year now on my 09 CRF450R and it has a ton of deep scratches but my frame and case do not. The plate has not bent or twisted in any way either. It fits perfectly, the rear tab lays underneath the frame, and the front even sits between the frame rails underneath. It looks great too."

Makes it easy
August 5, 2010
"This tool is a little overpriced for what you get, but is is reusable so it pays for itself in time. Absolutely no doubt that I didn't cut the seal putting it on and puts my mind at ease after all of the work involved in changing the seals out. Worth the price for the peace of mind over a plastic bag."

Nice Tube
August 2, 2010
"This tube does what it's supposed to. Gets you at full throttle a lot faster. Only issue was the end cap got lost on the first one I bought after a throttle side fall that ripped the end of my grip. I still went and bought another one though. It works that well."

"I bought these in combination with the front and rear fender set. They are very solid plastics. They feel thicker than OEM, and look a lot brighter. Holes are pre-drilled and line up perfectly. They were excellent out of the packaging too. No warps or scratches. Excellent replacement set."

Nice Belt
July 30, 2010
"This belt does the job. It is a lot stiffer than the Fox blackbelt. The velcro doesn't seem quite as durable as the Fox, but a little more time will tell. The stiffness on your back is comfortable though, and you can feel kidneys stayin in place after a good over jump. It's worth the money"

 RG3 Complete Clamp Set With Steering Stem And Pro Taper Contour Handlebar Combo
RG3 Complete Clamp Set With Steering Stem And Pro Taper Contour Handlebar Combo
RG3 Complete Clamp: The RG3 Gen2 Triple Clamps feature greater strength, durability and improved flex characteristics. The RG3 clamps utilize a unique, patented system that provides all the advantages of a rubber-mounted system without the disadvantages. Rubber mount points stabilize the bar clamps while absorbing shock and vibration that would otherwise be transmitted to the riders hands. The likelihood of armpump and rider fatigue is greatly reduced as is the tendency to twist the bar mounts in the advent of a fall or hard landing. Pro Taper Contour Bar: Made with aerospace 2050 aluminum. New chemically applied "un-sticker graphics." Knurled clutch side for secure grip hold. 1/4" cut guides for precise modification.
 

What is the offset?

I have a 2009 CRF450R and know the stock offset is 20mm. I'm looking for a 22mm offset to settle my front end a bit. What is the offset for these clamps? Would I be better off with Ride Engineering?

There is a new standard in knee brace protection with the development of the Pod MX K700. Pod MX invested in research to medically understand the natural movement of the human knee to develop the K700s hinge system that mimics natural movement, resulting in superior safety. The Polymer Hinge System in the K700 knee brace features Synthetic Ligaments that function like the human knee, to provide secure natural motion. The Pod MX K700 knee brace provides impact protection to the patella with the self-tracking patella guard that remains in position in front of the knee to transfer impact energy throughout the knee brace without directing impact to the knee. A carbon composite frame allows the K700 knee brace to keep a low-profile lightweight design without sacrificing strength and rigidity. Pod MX uses a plush anti-bacterial moisture wicking frame liner on the K700 for a forget-about-it comfort fit. Large straps that also feature the moisture wicking comfort fabric, maintain the knee brace position for optimum function. The Pod MX K700 knee brace is ideal for adult riders of any level with ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL instability. The K700 design also protects against rotary and combined instabilities. POD ligament knee braces are medical grade products, covered by most heath insurance plans, with a doctors prescription. Check with your doctor and insurance provider first. Sold as a pair.

The RS-4 is a unique design with predicated power and a quiet earthy exhaust note that speaks volumes for performance. This RS-4 features all the benefits of the original RS-4 muffler, but with a unique turned-out end-cap, designed to direct exhaust heat and gases away from the bikes components. To top-it-off, they embossed Yoshimuras "347" logo in the carbon for a clean look. With all its benefits in mind, the RS-4 was an obvious choice for the WR450F. Aluminum pentagonal shaped muffler sleeve and aluminum mount bracket. Features a polyresonant duplex chamber, a two-staged stepped baffle, and an innovative carbon cone end cap. Durable high-grade stainless steel tapered header and mid-pipe. Considerable weight reduction. Carbon fiber end cap comes with a U.S.F.S.-approved Spark Arrested insert installed in the muffler. Step-by-step directions and all necessary hardware included for an easy installation. Note: For closed course competition use only. Not intended for street use.
 

Is that the correct exhaust in the picture?

Steel braided replacement line. Better feel and stronger than the standard line.
 

Does this line keep it from melting against an exhaust?

The original carbon line melted against my exhaust in about one minute...even though I tried to route it as far away from the cylinder head and exhaust as possible for its length. Does this line alleviate the problem and is it heat resistant ?

Is the end of the throttle tube open to accept brush bars

I have a YZ450F and need a new throttle tube but i am installing brush gaurds that mount in the end of the handlebars, thus i was wondering if the end of this tube has a hole to accept the mounting hardware or do i have to, and should i drill out the end
It has a removeable end cap to allow for the brush guards.

Bar size?

Will this throttle assembly fit a 1 1/8" bar?
The bar ends on all bars are 7/8" whether they are oversized 1 1/8 bars or not, so yes, they will fit.

Pieces included with purchase

On the G2 Quickturn throttle (tube) what is included? The throttle clamp end pieces, special throttle cable? I don't see this tube fitting into the stock Honda CR85 clamps.
Only thing included is what you see in the picture. Just the throttle tube with the cam permanantly attached.
