I was wondering what the Bend, Width, Height, and Sweep of the stock DS bars are? I am looking for some aftermarkets, and they give these specs, I'd like to know what the stockers are to compare.

Also does anyone have any opinions on which brand/style of bars they like best and why?
Thanks

 

400EX bend bars are really close to stock. I had the Renthal before I changed my steering stem and went to Pro Taper fat bars.

 

Thats good to know. What do they mean by the style of bend suck as YZ, CR, that crap. how can I compare?

 

Renthal 400EX that JMAC650 mentions.

Tusk Carbon Steel These are the only ones that I have had any luck with the stock steering stem. They do hit the gas tank cover a little at full lock. I am on my second pair.

 

thanks for the replies. Although I am looking for a pair of handlebars, I am more interested in the specs and what they mean than what will fit. knowing this will let me determine and compare between different bars, but as it stands now, I look at the stats and it's like sweep=, bend=(CR, YZ, KZ, HS,) what do these things mean? how do the same bars with 2 different bends differ?(same length witdh, sweep, but one has a cr bend the other has a yz bend...whats the diff?)

Thanks, and I hope someone has some experience in this field.

 

my steering stem is bent so i am gonna personally have my buddy lenghten my steering stem 1 1/2 inches then i should be able to use regular motocross handlebars

 

That is another thing, are there any other steering stems that can be tweeked a bit and made to work with the DS? I'm interested in "other" parts, not just the stock replacements or the pricey aftermarket ones. Something different made for a different machine that "may" fit or maybe be made to fit. I just wanna know if there is anyone out there who has tried this stuff, or who has had experience with these kind of things.

The "bend" is etting to me though.... ATV High bend......WTF does that mean?

 

do a research on the threads i did and have found lots of past ones were guys have had there buddies add 1 1/2 inches to the steering stem for 60 dollars versus 135 for a new one

 

I don't think it would be that hard to add length to the stock steering stem, I have welding friends, and we have a machine shop in town, so I could do it there.
I was looking for any experiences anyone has at interchanging other parts onto the DS such as 400EX shocks for drags and whatnot. And of course the main concern of WTF does bend mean in regards to handlebars, and how can one compare them.

 

When i got my trailtechs i got the high bend.Rockey mnt said it is a taller bend.
