I need to get new handlebars after a minor low side crash. I think I remember the stock bars being 7/8ths and not dimpled? I'm not going with stock bars again and just want to be sure I order the right size,etc.

 

[fastersons]

7/8 is correct. What kind of bends are you looking for?

 

[Screws]

Dirtbike or tracker, at least as high as the stock bars if not a little higher, with very little pullback.

 

[fastersons]

If you bar isn’t bent too badly then you can measure it and utilize this chart to find your desire bend.

I was thinking about replacing my bar with the cr high for the next riding season

Cool,thanks for the chart. I've been eyeing the CR highbend and a Kawasaki highbend,though I really liked the stock bars on my old 500exc. I'll probably hit my local shops just to see what they have in stock and see if I like any of the bends before ordering online.

I have these on mine and love them.

Those look good! Do you know how the pullback is compared to the stock bars?

 

[freak]

not sure on the pull back but they look awesome and are very comfy , lets me sit back on the seat more and my knee doesn't hit the air cleaner anymore

Nice! After checking out at all the bars at my local shops and looking at multiple charts online I ordered a Renthal RC High. I noticed the stock bars have 2 holes on the right side and 1 on the left. Did you have to drill holes in your new bars???

 

[fastersons]

Is the RC High similar to stock?

 

[ScroogeMcChuck]

I drilled my bars. I don't think you have to, but it's not as hard of a job as it sounds. Under the switches for the lights on the left and the starter on the right there's a little plastic peg. They sit in the hole in the bar so that they don't slide around. Some bikes use this as a ground, but not ours, it's just plastic so I suppose you could file it off. Once I got my new bar mounted I put every thing back on without tightening the switches then stuck a little screw driver under the peg to scratch a mark where i wanted to drill. Just used a regular cordless drill, started slow and then add some pressure. Easy peasy.

 

[ScroogeMcChuck]

Drillin' bars

 

[freak]

yes, I drilled for the switch housings

 

[Screws]

The RC Highs are a couple inches shorter than stock, not quite as wide and have waaaaay less sweep (pullback)
Once I install them and test the riding position I might go with a 1" riser.
