VR1 bars are subpar. Polaris did a great job with the pro taper bar for the xcr, but the same steps are necessary for the xcr bar retrofit, and a riser block is still needed. RSI bars are superior to the pro taper xcr bar, hence why I chose this bar over the xcr bar. Lastly, the RSI bar has a one inch rise, so no riser block is needed for the steering post. The taller the riser block, the more steering input is needed. With the rise in the bar, it does not effect the steering like the riser block does.
@@darrrenbetker4266 if you enjoy the VR1 bars, and the stock height that’s all that matters then, and this modification should not be done. again, the reasoning is in my previous comment. Enjoy!
What bars did you get? I used the tki throttle block, and the RSI handgrips..not factory and I had no issues. On the left side for the for the 7s controls, the mount was loose around the bars so I cut a wire shrink wrap in half and put it between the bar and 7s hand control mount. It’s tight and does not move and inch. You can do the same thing for the throttle block if you do not want to to use TKI’s products. You can get the wire shrink wrap at a hardware store for less than a buck, or buy a kit with assorted sizes for future use.
@@MrRev232 this link is similar to what I used between the bar and mount www.amazon.com/650pcs-Shrink-Tubing-innhom-Approved/dp/B07WWWPR2X This amount is excessive, but you can get an idea. Just cut it in half and wrap it around the bar. Trim as necessary.

I prefer a little bit taller and more stout riser. Rsi bar have a one inch rise built in so you do not need a ridiculously tall riser. Rsi also channels vibration better so less pump to your arm.
For some yes, but myself and many others do not like the standard assault or vr1 handlebar. The same process is required to swap an xcr handlebar onto a vr1. That being said, RSI bars are way better than the factory Xcr handlebar. Thanks for your input.
thats allot of money and work. what exactly is this amazing advantage?

@@tonycat82 how exactly are the vr1 bars subpar. Mine work great.

Thinking about getting these bars. I had the xcr last year I’m thinking those bars also had an 1 inch rise?
According to my measurements, XCR bars are the same rise as the assault/vr1 bars.
Also they list the smart warmers on the rsi site those will still not work? Still wondering if I should buy Polaris’s heating units.

I just put these on and my throttle block won’t tighten up. Does your bars seem really thin.? My grips almost seem loose
