handlebar bend ?
I am gonna get a set of Pro Taper bars and was wondering which bend is closest to the original bar spec's? I like the way the factory bend feels and really don't want to change that.

On the Renthal site, they have measurements of the various bar they have. You might be able to match up the stock measurements with an aftermarket bar that way.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net.

Re: handlebar bend ?
CR low bend is very close to the same as stock KDX bars but you can measure what you have and compare to the chart.

That's a good tool they have on the Renthal site. I'm thinking I may try the Enduro High bend as I'm 6'2 and standing on the E with oversized/raised pegs is not comfortable with the KX bend that I have now.

Re: handlebar bend ?
ProTaper site has the specs for their different bends also. Pick the style of handlebar and color you want, click product details, then scroll down and click "technical info". It was great for matching up a set of bars a couple years ago.

rmatv.com has also added tech specs to all of the brands they sell that show width, rise, sweep, etc.

Re: handlebar bend ?
I ordered a set of CR mid bend (didn't have a low bend in Pro Taper Contour) and they are nearly identical as OEM. I was wanting them a little higher, but the 1 1/8" bar adapters that I used accomplished that for me (3/4" higher). Rode it for about 20 miles yesterday and they feel good.
