How tall are you? Do you like the feel of the stock handlebars? I have a set of Pro Taper seven eights KX low bend bars in black that are new. Never been mounted. I am not positive but I think this is about as close as you can get to stock bars. may even be the same bend and height. I purchased them for my 220R and then decided to go with something a bit taller. If you want them let me know.

I like the CR-Hi bend on the H model KDX in stock size ("7/8)

I have no idea how close the Pro-Tapers are to that though...

I am 5-10 and went with the cr high bends with a 3/4" adapter/spacer. It is so much more comfortable to ride with for me. I feel like I can throw the bike around, and standing is so much better with that set up. It's a matter of preference and riding style. I love higher bars, but I am also a mountain snowmobiler so I am probably biased. :partyman:

The KX high bend is closest to the KDX H model OEM bend. I too like the CR high bend, but I prefer the black Protaper Contour Fat Bars. The CR bend is swept back a tad more than the KX bend, but I run my bars in the -2 position (way forward) and that takes most of the sweep out. Bend enough bars like I have and you can try all kinds of bends to find the one you like the best. That's how I determined I like the CR hi's the best. :wink:
