Pro Taper suspension brackets adapter 7/8" to 1-1/8" — 3/4" rise, black fit for small off-road bikes

Pro Taper 022821 Suspension Brackets are a universal solid-mount adapter set that converts 7/8" bar mounts to 1-1/8" while adding a 3/4" rise for improved handlebar fit on small off-road bikes.

This Pro Taper kit is a compact, purpose-built solution for riders who need a stronger, higher handlebar position when retrofitting or upgrading triple clamp setups. Designed for compatibility with a range of small-displacement models — including Honda CRF50F (2004–2009, 2011–2013), Honda XR50R (2000–2003), Kawasaki KLX110 (2002–2009) and Suzuki DR-Z110 (2003–2005) — the brackets adapt solid-mounted triple clamp bar mounts from 7/8" to 1-1/8" and provide a 3/4" rise to enhance ergonomics and control. The kit’s black finish keeps a stealth, OEM-friendly look while delivering dependable clamping strength for youth and trail bikes.

How does this bracket kit change handlebar fit and rider posture?

By raising the handlebar centerline 3/4", the Pro Taper brackets shift hand position upward and slightly back, which reduces rider reach and helps a smaller rider maintain a more centered, comfortable stance. That modest rise is effective for improving leverage while preserving natural steering geometry on small frames.

• 3/4" rise increases handlebar height without altering fork travel.
• Converts 7/8" clamp to 1-1/8" to accept larger bars.
• Helps compact riders achieve better weight distribution.

Will these brackets fit my bike model and clamp size?

The Pro Taper 022821 kit is built as a universal solid-mount adapter for specified small-bike applications; it fits the listed Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki models that use solid triple-clamp bar mounts. Confirm your stock clamp diameter is 7/8" and that your triple clamps are solid-mounted before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

• Compatible with listed CRF50F, XR50R, KLX110, DR-Z110 model years.
• Requires original 7/8" solid-mounted bar clamps to adapt to 1-1/8" bars.
• Black finish matches many OEM styling cues.

What are the installation steps and tools required?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic motorcycle maintenance: remove the original handlebars, detach the factory bar mounts, fit the Pro Taper adapters to the triple clamp, then clamp the new 1-1/8" bar and torque to spec. Typical tools include metric sockets, Allen keys, torque wrench, and thread locker for a secure fit.

• Remove stock bars and mounts, then bolt adapter to triple clamp.
• Install 1-1/8" handlebar in adapter and center before torquing.
• Recommended: torque wrench, metric sockets, thread locker on hardware.

Does this kit affect handling or require other modifications?

The modest 3/4" rise changes rider ergonomics more than suspension geometry; most riders notice improved comfort and control with no need for further suspension modification. However, check cable and hose routing after fitting taller bars—longer throttle cables or brake lines may be necessary in some setups.

• Minimal effect on steering geometry; primarily ergonomic adjustment.
• Inspect cables and hoses; extend if they bind after installation.
• No permanent modification to triple clamps required—reversible upgrade.

Who is this for: The Pro Taper 022821 Suspension Brackets suit riders upgrading youth or small-displacement dirt bikes who want stronger, larger-diameter handlebars and a modest rise for better posture and control. It’s ideal for mechanics, parents fitting kids’ bikes, and riders converting vintage or low-end models to modern 1-1/8" bar standards without replacing triple clamps.
