Default Handlebars Snapped!!!!!!

I was riding my Z at a friends track this weekend and I came down off of his big jump and the left side of my handlebars snapped right off at the bar clamp. Clean break and everything!!!!! It was the second time I have rode there and it was a smooth landing. I'd hit his big jump many times before and was fine. Luckily I just veered off into the middle of the track and was able to stop. Trust me its a little scary when you land and your handlebar snaps in half [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]. I need a new set of bars and was wondernig if anyone had any suggestions. Looking to spend around $50 to $75. I saw the TAG X5's and they look pretty nice, anybody have them?

Yah I found a nice pair that probably aren't as strong as the X5's but they were only $43 with shipping. Anondized aluminum, sweet red color and loook pretty nice. They're the Fly handlebars off of ebay.

I got those new handlebars and a nice set of gel grips coming so once I get them on and get my handguards back on I'll try to get up a picture.

I suggest Factory 909 (actually made by FMF). I have a set of them on my raptor. They took a direct hit from the rear tire of a zilla at about 45 mph and held up great. The clutch perch and handle broke, I broke 2 fingers and a wrist, but the bars were ok. They were worth every penny I payed for them.
