I started a thread a few weeks ago regarding the installation of new Protaper Schoolboy Hi bars on my XT. I have ridden the bike for the past few weeks after installation of the new bars. I really like the new riding position. The bike feels more like a sport touring bike vrs a sport tourer with high motocross bars. I did not buy the bike to do off-roading so the position feels much better for my application. Having less forward sweep did eliminate the wrist soreness I would get with the stock bars. It does take a little more effort to turn, but it feels just right now. The only concern I have at this point is the front brake hose. The lower height of the bar has introduced a fairly radical bend in the hose between the master cylinder and the top hose clamp. I am considering replacing the hose with a shorter length that would fit properly. Does anybody have a suggestion and part # for a hose that would work with the lower master cylinder location? Thanks in advance for the help. |
