another handlebar question

[elcamino12sec]

I am looking for a set of 1 7/8 bars for my 1995 kx 250. As I have beed looking for quite some time now. I have come to the conclution that that ProTaper kx high with 4.25" of rise is about the highest I can find. I do not want to get risers and clamps due to cost. I am 6'4" and my goal is to stay under 75.00 for getting my bike so I can ride and stand with out being bent over allot. Does any one know of another brand that are 1 7/8 that may be higher? If not Im ordering the kx high this weekend, any sudgestions?

1 7/8" or 7/8"?? Don't think I've seen 1 7/8"

My personal suggestion would be to go to the fat bars and use the Moose Racing Universal Handlebar Clamp Kit. This kit will bolt directly onto your existing 7/8" handlebar clamps and you get to choose the height of the clamp for the 1-1/8" fat bars. They have 20mm, 30mm or 50mm rise.

I personally went with Moose (Burleson bend) flex bars and the 50mm rise adapters. This brought the bars way up, exactly where I like them.

go to the moose racing web site and look through the catalog.

I think my handlebar upgrade (rise) with bars cost me about $95. $60 for the bars and $35 for the riser/clamps.

Good Luck!

i know you said that you wanted to stay under $75...but for another $20 or so you can probably get exactly the feel you want.

It took me a couple months to find them, but I got a Pro Taper triple clamp and a set of pro taper "high" (can't remember now what exact model) for about 75 bucks shipped. :) I watched "fleabay" for months. This setup is about 2.5" higher than the stock height of my '01 RM. It's a lot better. I'm only 6'2", but I'd like it to even be a little bit higher. Oh, both were new, in original packaging.
