New Protaper Raptor tapped and drilled for 2014+ model

[MrSpock]

Up for sale brand new Protaper Raptor handlebars professionally tapped and drilled for Super Tenere 2014 and up. Pretty much a drop-in replacement. No special tools/equipment requited - basic tools and couple drops of rubber cement. The handlebars had never been installed, no scratches, glue, scuffs, etc.

The Raptor handlebars are known to cure the pain between shoulder blades that some people develop after few hours of riding ST. They also provide better ergonomic for larger riders.

Here is tech data for Raptor:http://www.protaper.com/default/controls/handlebars/handlebars/contour.html#product-tabs2
Attached is a comparison with stock handlebars (thank you whoever made it - I found it on the forum somewhere).

$100 plus actual shipping cost. Paypal or pickup with cash.

Anyone know the difference in the drill pattern between a 2013 and this 2014? If it's the same, I'm very interested......ok, ill, probably take them......

The 13 and 14 use different end weights. The 12-13 use a bolt to hold the weight on, the 14-15 use a threaded end weight, the whole thing threads in. Does MrSpock mention the thread/pitch? You do need an insert, some are full threaded, to put the 12-13 end weights on the ProTaper bars. Or go and buy a pair of 14-15 weights.

Take em if your still interested. I'll just buy a pair on-line and install inserts for my '13 weights.

You'll like the Raptor bend; had these same bars on my last bike and felt it was the perfect setup.

Thx, yes I want, just waiting on Spock to chime back in. He has PM as well.

Gentlemen, I'm back. Sorry for the delay.

I'm not sure about the drill pattern difference between 2013 and 2014 models. What I do know, is the 2013 weights will not fit the 2014 (and these) handlebars, and vice versa. They are different. One of the pictures actually shows how 2014 weights fit in these bars. Pretty much the same way they fit in ST stock bars. So, if you have 2014+ model, these will fit work fine with your weights, switches and mirrors. You will not need anything extra to install. Only basic tools and a drop of rubber cement or your wife's hairspray (didn't try, but heard it works just fine) to secure the left grip. Some lube wouldn't hurt under throttle tube as well.
