Handlebars
« on: March 30, 2007, 04:27:12 AM »
Hi everyone

I like the bend of the stock handlebars (2003 KX500) and would like to know what aftermarket bars (TAG, RENTHAL and others) would closely resemble the stock bend.  I plan on running a Scotts stabilizer in the near future so a bar without a cross bar would be what I'm looking for.

The KX High bend might be the closest to the stock. Pro Tapers is the way to go. 1 1/8 bars all the way.

Sorry for the delay on the jets. I am putting them in the mail this weekend. I wish they could have work. Thanks again.

Grab a Dennis Kirk catalog or order one (www.denniskirk.com) and measure your bars vs. what they have listed in the catalog. Pro-Tapers rock and have put them on all my bikes.
