Default MSR handlebars

Hi, everyone.
I would like to order new handlebars because I bent mine last week-end.

But, I know the clamps only fits 7/8'' handlebar. But, when I have to order, it looks like I would have a there's a thousant more measurements to know.

I would like those;

Does someone could tell me wich would fit perfectly?

And by the way if you have other models you like in that range of price, feel free to tell me.

Thank you very much

In that price range ($28) I'd suggest a TUSK brand kawasaki high bend. They are thick walled alum like renthal, much better than msr's steel bars. The kaw hi bend is a 1/2 wider so has plenty of room for DS bike switches and mirror mount's etc. If all your riding is standing I'd prefer a little less pullback, but if most of it is in the seat they are comfortable.

I just had a bad fall 2 days ago and completely bent my handlebars. Are they cheap aluminum or what?
