Hey everyone...check this out.

So I have a set of fat pro taper bars and I want to use the pro taper triple.


Seems simple enough..but I think I’m missing something.


First here’s a picture of the parts.


SEE BELOW


Second note the length of the bolts that hold the bar clamps to the top triple.


Now take a look at the length of the unthreaded portion of the bolts.

SEE BELOW

My question. Pretty sure these are the original parts as packaged....but what am I missing. It looks like I don’t have a snowball’s chance of holding the bar clamps to the triple.

Do I need to get a different set of bolts for the bar clamp? Probably a stupid question but this came as an old/stock factory sealed box bought at auction.....and the protaper folks have usually put together a quality product for me in the past.

Thanks for the enlightenment...if you were amused at my ineptitude...your welcome.

Later,

Eric

You have to rob the rubber and washers from the bike to adapt these bar mounts. Some come with them, some don't, looks like yours is the latter.
