Can anyone tell me which model of Renthal bars most closely match the factory bars on the 1997 KDX 220?
Thanks,
Bob

Renthal's (Jimmy Button high bars) have the same bends and are just as wide as the stock ones but are about 3/4 to an inch taller, (better for standing up).

Most ride the CR high as they give the most room. Unless you are 5' - the CR high will really help things out when you are on the pegs.

I'll second the Jimmy Button or CR high. Has anyone tried the Renthal Larry Roeseler bars?

This has been asked before, but what bars will work with a Scotts damper installed?

My vote is if you're using the 7/8" bars/stock top triple clamp then get the Scotts bend Renthals. Others also bend the stock crossbar. I've got the Scotts bend CR high's with my Scotts stabilizer. If you want to go to oversize bars and are getting a replacement triple clamp, you can fit whatever you like.

Best,
Greg
