genuine pro taper mini height

while vrowsing through the local bike shop i happened to walk directly at the pro taper bars hanging on the wall and accidentally grabbed a set off the rack.
Following these was a set of adapters to fit the 1 1/8 diameter of the mount point (these were the contour bars), which somehow found their way to the counter aswell.

not really a 'tech review' but wow! after riding full size bikes for so long before pitties, a really good set of bars (trimmed slightly wider than the standard bars) makes a huge and way better feel to the bike!

i can tell you i won't be going back to the oversized bmx bars that many come with or claim to be what they're not!

was a while ago now, was $80 for the adapters and around $240 for the bars.
many a hard fall and no bending as yet, so much better than the stockers.
always used them on my 250/450 and will now stay with them on the pitty.
