It is a direct replacement if you purchase the same size tubing.Wistrick said:
The sweep on the stock bar is extremely pulled back and hurts most riders wrists and hands. The Raptor bar is flatter and very close to the shape of a KLR.

I came from a KLR and DL1000 background and never considered the Tenere as having viby handlebars.Wistrick said:

Protaper contour raptor. Very easy to fit and no fuss.

You said that you are looking for the similar Pro Taper bar, right?Wistrick said:
Well, in the 2. post i linked the thread with pics. Pro Taper Atv Mid is the closest to the stock bar. Risers are not necessary...

might not be a vibby as my Versys was but the frequency of the vibes seem to be putting my hands to sleep and making them ache after a 300 mile day....I did 300 mile days back to back on the S10 and then on the Moto Guzzi Norge and hands didn't hurt nearly as bad coming off the Guzzi so hoping aluminum bars might help....All ready changed to a progrip 716 gel grip (think) and it helps a bit but the vibes are coming though...And if I reach out and put a finger on the hand guards its really buzzy....bike has 3500 miles on it...tomatocity said:

I finally installed ProTaper ATV low bars today and think they may be keepers. They are at least 1/2 inch lower than stock and an inch narrower on each side compared to stock. Rox risers put the bars in a nice place while standing and not too high in the saddle. It takes a little more steering input but worth it because the sweep feels much more natural. If you don't want to use risers... get the Raptors!
For the bar ends, I can't suggest the G2 bar inserts enough. It takes maybe 30 min to tap the bar ends but you will have a super stout connection for the bar weights and handgaurds.

Flexx Bars
I went to Flexx bars in 15 degree sweep....huge improvement over stock. I struggled with stock bars for 20K plus miles...Seems strange that the only street bike Flexx lists is the Super T in stock 18 degree or 15. Stockers gave me one helluva case of carpal tunnel in my left hand.

FYI - I put together a list of as many bars as I could find with dimensions etc including sweep etc. Google doc an Excel versions etc. See this thread:

I was waiting for you to publish the list again. All the answers are there. Can you sort the handlebars by "Diameter" with 1 1/8" being the preference?tpak said:

Tpak, I have referred MANY to your fine efforts over the last year or so.
Thanks man.
