yes I have read some old posts regarding handlebars.

Is there any new info. I am looking for more motocross/offroad type bar for my klx, maybe a higher rise.
also it has to work with existing stock handlebar junk....as in horn, mirrors, electric start, throttle....you get it.

any comments would help

thanks in advance,

 

I use Pro Taper High bend, I'm 5'10 and they feel wider and fit with the stock wiring. (On my 2013 though, but the bars were previously on a 91 KX80 2 stroker) They look real nice with the Pro Taper grips and the bar pad. Only issue with the bar is you get a hard time putting your key in and out the first times but all in all I reccomend you the Pro Tapers, I tipped that bike over more often then anything else and they didn't even show a slight amount of bend.

 

Go to a bike shop and check out their bars. Virtually any of them will fit the controls. If you want to be sure, measure how much space each cluster of switches, lever perch, and grip take up, then use the longest as your guide to what you need on the replacement bar.

Grab a few bends and pick the one that feels right for your wrists. If you want taller, get the high bend. You can spend from around $30 for steel bars up to well over $100 for the Pro Taper bars/clamp. You choose.

I guarantee you if I wanted to do Pro Tapers I'd spend some money on cheap steel bars to make sure I know what bend and height I want. I'd hate to screw up when it costs that much.

 

The stock controls are wider than most bikes, so be careful if you cut your bars down, otherwise your levers might be at a weird angle.

 

I agree with the buying cheap bars first, I order usually from rockymountain and they have some chrome Fly racing bars for 20$ and they come in CR high bend and more options. I personally adore high bends, it makes it so much more, agressive feeling. my POV though

 

I'm running PT contours, yz high bend with some eBay adapters. Happy so far.

 

thanks everybody for the suggestions.
good idea of trying cheaper bars before going big $$$
