TAG Handlebars

One of the areas the Kawasaki saves money is by fitting stock steel bars and on the long haul they are far from impressive. With the standard bars it is a bit of an agricultural feel. Fortunately we’ve easily resolved the situation and increased the comfort by fitting a pair of TAG metals X5 bars with cross bar and pads.

The softer compound of the TAG grips significantly reduces fatigue but the the time that we had the the KLR project bike they didn’t show excessive wear.

TAG Grips

You can’t have TAG bars with TAG custom grips. TAG grips use a synthetic rubber designed to give optimum tackiness and improved vibration dampening and is available in two compounds, soft/medium and medium/hard.
