penis lover.... the distance from the end of the bar to that first bend (pullback) is the same on all the ProTapers that are 800mm long. The more bend you have, the less you can push your handbrake in. my brake was in as far as I could possibly get it and the end of the lever was flush with the end of the bar and that sucked because then I was grabbing the center of the brake lever. Less leverage and quicker fatigue on my vagina pleaser finger.

Meat gazer. so your telling me that all 800mm width protapers have equal pullback?? So carmichaels arent 55. reeds 65. mids 60. this is all off top of my head. ill post some charts proving u wrong when i get home.

u also say pullback isnt a measurement of the bars bend from center of middle, to center of the bar ends. giving u the bars pull toward the BACK of the bike? i can find that diagram too. protaper dot com SON..

no homo, dont get it all tangled and twizzled. the length of bar from the end to the first bend is the same on all the 800's. More back pull prevents you from pushing the brake in towards that bend. On that suzuki/ktm I was able to free up.... maybe 1/2" or more compared to some of the other bends that I checked out that my buddies had. Why would you want more backpull that the suzuki/ktm anyway? Its a stunt bike, not a beach cruiser.

When I hit up PT about their bars, they said that all the bends are in the same location so that means the center of the bars where they mount to the clamp are the same width to the first bend and the control surfaces are the same length but the first bend does interfere with mounting. Alot of guys are grinding down their master to get it on the bend but I didnt want to do that and not all levers have the adjustment to accommodate that type of modification. When you grind the master and put it on the bend, now your lever is closer to the bar and not parallel to it so now you have to bend your lever.

theres your size chart. ysr u dont understand what pull back is. 800mm wide bars have varying pullback dimensions. LOOK.

Pullback is like taking your clipons and rotating back toward stock. THAT IS PULLBACK.

see the difference. Reed is on top. That bar looks way more gangster rolled up, but will give you about 5/8 less mounting space than the MIDs(bottom pic)

buut, u are exactly right here. When you try to push your master all the way in it will push your lever toward the handlebar if you ride with your bars rolled back. If you ride with em rolled way forward like me it will push your lever away from your bars. In both cases it fucks shit up... It also moves your lever upward, making it not lined up with the bar, which is terrible. So you gotta either get a folding lever or bend the stock one.
