While I understand they have new owners- when you buy a company you typically don’t need to get distribution and manufacturing “going”…. You continue to operate with current suppliers, etc..

That being said I’m running the stock Suzuki bend on my RM-Z but they do not feel the same. They are wider by the measurements I could find so I cut them down about a half inch and that helped get closer but they still feel off.  I have them rolled back quite a bit too.

Anyone know whats going on with the supply of EVO's or Fuzion's.  Everyone is out of stock.  Some sites even showing discontinued.  I pulled the trigger on a set of ACF's and I'm getting crazy vibration through the bars.  Was hoping to go back to a set of Evo's.

At 6’3”, I’ve always been a big fan of RM Low/Pastrana MX.  Anyone know where I could find a set or if there is a Renthal equivalent?

What's the problem?  Check The Kove MX thread.  Plenty of guys to tell you Chinese knock offs are great ! Even for an entire bike!

I used to work for Tucker Powersports which owned Pro Taper.  Before I quit in January I stocked up on a few things and I believe I have a brand new set of SX Race Fushion bars still in the box.  I’ll confirm that tomorrow if you are interested.

Easy now.  I had someone in another thread telling me that I was crazy to think that Chinese quality and innovation is anything less than first rate!

Would not surprise me to find out there is something odd going on with the PT deal. Very weird for a sizeable company like that to be acquired and essentially shut down operations (for the time being?) without telling anyone.

My wondering, is with the buy-out and ProTaper seemingly unorganized right now, were they being made in China and now the Chinese are like screw it and selling their stock themselves or are these straight up fakes?

dude I thiiiiiiink the factory suzuki bend is another name for that? If so, I have one if you need it. I'm probably going to migrate to renthal when I have a need soon.

I tried them back to back (same bend) and could not feel a difference. I would say my evo husky bend feel more flexible than my evo race team bend.

I just realized that’s AC and Sexton’s media guy. Weird interaction and I’m wondering what transpired for him to post that. What’s strange is Pro Taper is still posting on their social media. I realize an outside company handles that stuff but whoever is still posting must have some understanding of what is going on that they blocked someone asking questions.

There have been knockoffs available forever (especially grips). I love when I see a used bike for sale and they have the knock off grips on them ?
