Handle Bars

[sebas650]

Well,I haveto replace the stock handle bars on my 03 klr650. I'm wondering if any of you other klr riders have replaced yours with aftermarket aluminum bars? which ones?, from where? etc...

Ps. _amm this fractured coller bone hurts!:mad3:

I've changed my bars for a set of old Answer Alumilite CR Hi-bend that are cut down toabout 28 inches in width. Anderson Off-road Products bark busters and the old large style Maier deflectors are also mounted.They were bought in the early 90's and have been on at least 4 bikes with several detours into the ground without bending.

ON my DR650 I have a set of AERO Taper alum bars. They were $130 with the adaptors to fit the stock bar mounts. The adaptor raised the bars bout 1" and overall the bars are bout 3" higher than stock. This gives a way better riding position on the DR over stock.:tup:

I would definitly consider the Pro-taper SE bar. They are very similar to the stock bars for size but have very little vibration and are way stronger than the stock steel crap that is on the bike. I think that they were one of my best mods. Here's a picture of them.

Acerbis HT03 bars. Available from the DSBC store. Great price and my riding friends can attest to how well they stand up to abuse.

Just to clairify, on a klr?

According to the doc. I'm not allowed to ride it for a while, but he didn't say I couldn't work on it!

Should fit. They're standard size diameter and if I'm not mistaken, they're the common CR type bend which seems to work well on just about anything. Mine still aren't bent after numerous slides and offs:clap:

Thanks guys, I just talked :talk:to Tom. It sounds like he has a bar for me so I guess I'm off to surrey.
