My bike came with some vortex bars on them. From what I have measured I think they are a mini bend HB817k. I really like them and just ordered a new set in black. I have a stock set of bars and will soon have an extra set of the vortex HB817k in silver also if anyone is interested in them.

I'm running the CR HIGH bend, Pro Taper 7/8th's bend. They are black, with the cross bar and foam pad. Cost me 78 bucks canadian before tax, so with new grips and bar I walked out leaving 99 dollars behind. I'm 5'11'' and love the higher/wider bars.

The cables needed to be rerouted as some have mentioned but I dont feel the need to order the extended cable at the moment. Weight of rider on bike and clever positioning of cables creates little to no bind in the throttle tube. Brake cable is a little bit stretched, but was very relieved once bike had weight on it (off center stand, and with rider. Some folks may not want the mirror/brake/clutch units to be as far in on the bars, so longer cables would be required. Myself, no problem. I feel like I have more control of the brake and clutch lever now as well, in the current position.
