I bent my stock KLX250 bars in a slow low-side when entering cement sideways through a knarled hole that pulled the rear tire out (should have hit that thing straight on, what can i say...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa). It was minor with no damage except for bent bars, I was suprised how easy they bend.
Yes, get aftermarket bars regardless, this is likely inevitable for everyone.
I got the tapered bars (Protaper I think), and now I need to find some bar clamps/risers for tapered bars that fit on the klx. QUESTION: The bar clamps at the jap bike shop had a single screw post for the triple clamp, not double screws like the klx triple clamp has, so that won't work. What bar clamps/risers can I get for the klx that fit tapered bars?

and as a side note, I am also 6'1" and the protapers with the risers are perfect for me and don't make me feel like a hunch back when I stand up.

Can someone say spaghetti? I bent mine and replaced them with protapers cr high, the bend lend's itself to riding standing up.
Glad you are ok though.
