Anybody got a good source for a cheap set? There was a post awhile back where it was about 10 bux but can't remember where

found those on rckymntn
Tusk T-10 Aluminum Handlebar CR high bend for $27.99
Are they even worth it? or should I spend the money and stick to protaper CR high bend?

Sheesh . . . that's a great price. And some pretty good choices for colors - not as important as performance but a nice feature.

the tusk looks nice but I wonder if they're any better than the stock. Don't wanna end up with spagetti handlebar on the 1st fall

Stock is steel!

I've got some Easton oversize bars on my KDX, they are strong but stiff.

I've got ProTaper Evo's on the 450 and they are awesome, pricey though. Lightweight, flex and feel great. Plus they look cool! :D

I know

I must be too strong

or maybe I fall too hard

I bent my protaper (tried to bent them back to no avail

) and can't fit my new cycra triple clamp barkbuster so need a replacement.
I'm thinking a cheaper set might fair pretty well with the triple mount, we'll see

I have a set of Renthal bars, set up on a 2002 KX upper triple clamp with a clutch side grip that is all barely used. I swapped out to fat bars and a TAG upper clamp when I bought my new (to me) bike.

You want 'em, they are yours.

Renthal al dente !!

How very generous . . .

I think all of the cheap aluminum bars are about the same quality. I bent a pair of Moose's version on my XR without too much trouble. I'm now running a pair of the Tusks on it.

Of course, I've had a pair of Jimmy Button bend Renthals on the KDX for 4 years and plenty of abuse with no problems.

If you want to go cheap, get the Tusks.

You are funny. Ha!!

Wifey was't too thrilled to see the bars on "her" dining table. In fact, she was a little upset to see any motorcycle part inside the house. Seems she recalls a few bikes overhauled in the living room and motors rebuilt on the dining room table on a few occasions. Told me in no uncertain terms that was not going to take place in the new house, NO SIR!! She was ecstatic to hear that they were up for adoption and volunteered to take them to the post office.

Sounds like a good excuse to improve the garage

My last cheepie set was MSR "Dominator" aluminum bars. After they bent, I decided to get a quality set and I got Renthals. Cheap is ok for some parts on the bike, but the handlebars? You gotta be kidding! No more cheap ones for me!
