Have decided to live with the barsI had on hand. Not looking anymore.



Doing a sumo conversion on the old KTM and need more space to mount switches, brakes, etc.




Looking for Super Tenere handlebars un bent.

Lemme know...

Thanks,
GD

I've got a stock set that is powder coated matte black. I'm in Maine, 25 bucks plus shipping to you? Paypal is fine.

Prefer to have them in the stock silver'ish finish if not too pricy.

I should have a good set after this weekend. I'm installing a Pro Taper bar with a lesser bend that fits me better. Be installing Oxford Heated Grips (adventure size) while I'm at it.

It's a no-go on the OEM bars. I had to keep them. Bought a Pro Taper, Windham RM Mid, while the overall width is only 1 inch narrower than stock. However, the bar ends are only 8" compared to 10" for the stockers. So the controls don't fit. I have these exact bars on my WR250R and they fit me and that bike just right, but I cannot use them on the XT1200Z. Unfortunately, I already drilled a couple of locating holes and ground down the left side knurls to accept the Oxford heated grips (Adventure size), so I can't return the bars. I guess if I ever bork my 250's bars, I'll have a backup.

On the bright side, the heated grips are installed and work well. Lot's of wires involved.

I installed the Pro Taper Raptor bars shortly after buying my Tenere. At first I did not think the controls would fit but they do. Play with how the right and left controls mount with the bar ends installed.

I am in the market for a set of stock bars after a driveway tip over.
PM's sent to a couple of folks that replied.
Anybody closer to WA state is encouraged to reply.
