Works with 2019 Honda Grom - but takes some effort...
First, the picture that represents these bars in the description is not accurate. These bars are higher, so please don’t use that picture as a reference. These are XR50 mini bars. Look those up for the correct picture.Now, the install:Ordered these to replace the stock bars on my 2019 Honda Grom. I wanted something a little higher and didn’t want to use risers. I also love the width of Pro Tapers. In the end, they feel and look amazing - but this is no straight-forward install... but it’s not that hard either.The Issues:The only real concern with these bars is that their bend happens before the stock bars bend, which means you have less straightness to mount stuff. For example, I also installed a Chimera kwik tube and new grips along with these bars. In order to get the brake lever installed and straight (before the bend) the throttle tube had to overhang the bars by about 1/2 inch - which means I can’t install a bar end mirror because its not flush. I guess you can trim it? I didn’t though. Once you put your new grips on you can’t tell so maybe it’s not that big a deal. The clutch side had a little more room and I was able to use a bar end mirror.Next, clutch cable length also needs to be addressed. Because you’re going higher, you need more length. You’re able to kind of re-route the cable and break the glue off a bushing to grab another inch or so, which should be enough. I had to route my cable up on the right side and then across my triples. It sounds bad but it gave me plenty of length, doesn’t snag on anything and isn’t tight at all - and doesn’t look like crap. It was either that or buy a longer clutch cable. If you decide to go that route, I’ve read that the clutch cable on a Grom OG is another inch and a half longer - but you shouldn’t have to do this. Doing it the way I did it works fine.Last issue - the clam shell clamp that houses the hand controls on both sides of the bars has a little metal barb that sets into the bars to keep them from spinning. You’ll notice the stock Grom bars have a hole drilled that the clam shell barb sits in. The Pro Tapers DO NOT have this hole, so when you try to tighten them, they won’t tighten flush - and they’ll spin. There will be a gap. This was unacceptable for me and I wanted them to sit flush. Now, trying to drill a hole in the perfect spot on handlebars sounds super difficult. Here’s how we did it, and it was money. First, loose-mount everything up and make sure it fits. Then, wrap some electrical tape around the bars where that little metal barb would go in - or where you think the hole should be drilled. Then tighten that clam shell down as much as you can. Next, loosen that clam shell and you’ll see the impression in the tape of where the metal barb was trying to sit. Now you have the exact spot for your hole. Drill it out slowly so you don’t skip off the spot and miss. You really have no room for error.Once you do these couple of things, adjust the position of the bars to where they’re comfortable and tighten em up. I absolutely love these bars. They look and feel great and I’m very happy with the purchase. Would recommend.

Don't get these for the grom
Bought these to put on my 2020 grom, but there isn't enough bar space to mount the controls.I ended up cutting my thrrole assembly to make it fit, but that was a mistake.I'll be replacing the bars with either minis or klx bar, and.ill be buying a replacement throttle

Great addition to Chinese ATV. Gave my son much better leverage to turn. And to be honest, they just look great.

Not black
The handlebars are great. Pro taper makes a very good product. The problem i jave is I ordered jet black and they sent out a dark grey color. So just be aware that these bars are not jet black as listed.

Solid Upgrade over OEM
So much better than OEM. Installed these on my sons Yamaha TTR90E and it was an immediate upgrade. He absolutely loves them, so do I when I'm putting around in the pits.
