I have a 2003 KX125 front end on the way to go on my 2005 KDX. The triple clamps are for 1-1/8" bars so I will need new handlebars.
I will probably get some ProTaper Contours or some from Moose Racing. Can anyone recommend a certain bend? Does anyone know the width, rise and sweep of the stock KDX and KX bars?

I use a Contours Mini High Bend. The bend starts sooner, is steeper and you have plenty of bar end to attach the grips.
Other bars are too long of a transition from the clamp point out to where the grips go on and doesn't leave much room to mount stuff like bark busters, odometers, GPS mounts, etc...

protaper CR HIgh Mini Bars for me with Cyra triple mount busters at 29 1/2 over all. I run my chain adjuster at about 7-9 to keep the wheel base as long as possible with the KX front as low as possible.
short high bars are not great for high speed stability but the best in the tight.
