The bark busters I have are the MSR Hawkins - I like them a lot. I think this is where I got mine.

While you are shopping around, they also have a good selection of bars on this site. This might be where I got my bar, but I can't remember for sure.

I know the stock turn indicators take a lot of flak, but I kind've like them too. One good thing about them is that they are very bright. There's a 23 watt bulb in there which is something like almost half the power of our headlight - so no problems being seen. I was riding behind a fellow on a KLR250 and I don't know if his turn bulbs were stock or not, but I could barely tell they were even on when he was turning - downright dangerous.

I went to the local Kawasaki dealer today and they had the bars you mentioned. I bought an identical Renthal bar in silver color. I am going to check into your MSR Hawkins because I like the way they drop down on the side. The size you steered me to is just what I was looking for. Thanks Brian

I changed mine over to Moose aluminum bars last week. CR bend, with a 90mm rise. It's a little taller than the stock bar, which I like. Feels better when you're standing on the pegs. I also, before adding all the switches, throttle and stuff, shot it full of clear silicone caulk. This has dampened the vibrations enough that the mirrors don't buzz much at all, even at 75, and my hands don't go numb either. It looks cool and retails for $50, which is less than some of the other aluminum bars.

I just installed a set of TAG bars on mine. They are CRbend and black in color.
