Pro Taper BMX bar kit

anyone using this setup? has anyone heard anything bad about it? it looks like the risers are alot taller than any other kit but it seems to be well built.

I have that same exact kit.

Pros: comes with everything, its real tough considering i havent destroyed them yet, and its hella adjustable.

Cons: The price

Re: Pro Taper BMX bar kit

I've only had my bike for a couple days, it has pro tapers on it, I like them. They seem like they can definitely stand up to a beating. I haven't found any downside to them yet.

Sounds good, I don't have many people to stunt with. I still suck too but I'm learning. The bike was $900 really well hooked up (88 kit, bars, springs, CDI, stunt pegs, HD clutch, street tires, etc.) I paid a little extra to have him drive a couple of hours to meet me (The bike was in Pennsylvania). It's an '02, really clean for the year. Of course I've already put a few new scrapes on it!

Re: Pro Taper BMX bar kit

You might look at the BBR kit too. I have it on mine and they are strong as hell and seem to be the right height.

Re: Pro Taper BMX bar kit

well i got these bars and they have made a world of difference. the only bad thing is that the throttle housing cracked when i was tightening them up. im going to check with pro taper and see if they will stand behind them.
