I'm still rocking the OEM bars. I'm generally happy with them except for the overly stretched width of 36"! Every time I ride in between cars here in California, I get nervous with those bars so far out! However, I have a Pro Taper EVO 1 1/8" Adventure Bars that is begging to be used. I bought this for my VStrom and didn't like it on the bike (wrong bend made it uncomfortable). But this bar's bend and height is an exact match to the KLR's OEM bars without the ridiculous 36" width. Plus, I get to ditch the cross bars, which is nice to look at and makes the cockpit seem more spacious. I know there are a few members who already switched theirs over to oversized handlebars. Here are my questions:
Will this fit the 2022 KLR650, and will I be able to re-use the OEM rubber mounts on this set of bar clamps:
Pro Taper Universal Oversized Rubber Mount kit
I currently have this. But I'm afraid this might increase handlebar vibrations, because it did exactly this on my VStrom, and I don't want to go through the effort only to find out I hate it.
Pro Taper 7/8" to 1 1/8" Universal handlebar mount adapters
Sorry I am very OCD over my stuff and I don't like doing double the work. Thanks in advance for any advice from the continuum.
