A few cable ties and some tape will fix that up good as gold

Come to think of it is there anything that cable ties,tape and a bit of wire wont fix? I think not :laugh:

Pro Taper isn’t your only option Aaron,I have the Renthal fat bars on the XR and am more than happy with them.So much so that I will be keeping them for my new bike.
I have thrown the pig down a ton of times and the bars have never looked like bending.

[Bruce CurtisMember]

As Mick said Renthal are the standard in fatbars, I had a nice set on the 300 in a high KTM bend with risers, but after careful study and deliberation of my style i decided that i like corners more than straights, so for the YZ I run low flat RM bend in a fatbar with no risers and suits me fine.

very very personal choice handlebars are, and don’t do the “shed test” try riding with different bends.

Pester your mates and others, easy to judge whats comfortable….does it ride comfortable after 10 mins or so? can you turn corners and control the bike in other than just standing?

I’ve got the stock protaper bars that came on the WR, had 1 or 2 spills and they have stood up fine, I do like the KTM feel and riding position, I have my bars set on +1 (on the protaper bars alignment notches) which is a bit forward but opens up the space and feels nice and roomy.

Chris, try rolling it back to zero and see if it feels better to ride. I had mine at +1 and rolled them back to 0 and it is a lot better on fast corners – a LOT better! Give it a go!

[Nick AgainMember]

I have Thomaselli bars on the Husky….(it came that way)..Being rather tall I have them at + 1 also..The bars have handled some pretty decent drops to date, no evident damage i can see.
