thats a good one. hit a pot hole and bent my h/bars and nearly threw me off. this would have to be a first in my experience of off road bikes . i know the stock chinese bars are not real tough but to bend a bar by this method, something aint right. maybe its your front suspension. hard as.

 

[mad man]

mabye he means the clamp ins't tight so they sliped foward a little bit, making them look bent??

mate i got a pitpro 138 and i took the cross bar out from between the bars cos it looked kind of puffy and have been riding around hard and jumping it for a couple of months now and no bend as of yet.

PITPRO's have a riser problem
the desighn is flawed and makes clamping the bars down so they dont move
very hard but not impossable

sounds to me as ur bars have moved a
buy some pro tapers and ull be home free

cheers

is the front brake cable to short for pro tapers tho

is the front brake cable to short for pro tapers tho

The brake line , accelerator cable and clutch cable are all fine
so long as u are running a NON start in any gear engine

if u are running a start in any gear then ull need
-New EXTENDED clutch cable
-New EXTENDED accelerator cable(if u dont mind stretching a little the stock cable is fine)

but all else is fine

hope this helped

cheers

protapers are a lil big for pitpro RR i think

 

[PITBIKE_MULLISHA]

Nah im taller than the average joe and need that clearance

other choice is a set of TAG METALS
thruthfully these bars shit all over protaper abd i miss my cr125 with em on it it dearly lol

took them off to day, the left side is fine but the right side has been bent, just cheap aluminium i reckon, never hit the hole hard either. seems a bit strange that ive benn jumpin round on it and yet they bend from just drivin around on it. so the pro tapers will fit on the rr?? thanks guys

I put a set of tag bars on mine as soon as i got it no problems with cables and they are heaps more comfortable

 

[grant878]

mines a 138 though

I had the same problem with my pitpro 125, riding along and heard a crack, pulled up and found that the cross-bar had moved. The stock bars are too soft.
