Ya I bent my stock bars on the first fall and I replaced with that style pro taper. Looks much better too

 

You guys hitting your heads and chins are wearing your helmets right? Not too much need for a pad if you're wearing your gear.

 

I would never ride my bike without my helmate, I just got shot up really high and when I came down my helmate just slipped a little high from me goin down and I just hit the bars... Sucks but it wasn't the first time, split it right along the last scar.

 

Thats kinda what i was thinking, i always take the bar pad off my bars.. i think im on my 4th set of bars...
