I kinda liked the stock bend too and measured and compared different bars and came up with "CR Hi Bend" as the closest I could find, that's what I got and I really like them. I'm using Tag X-5's which are a "silly millimeter" thicker inside than "Benthalls" which seem to bend more easily.
I don't recall where I saw it, but 2 or 3 different bar manufactures listed their "CR Hi-bend" with varying degrees of sweep and rise. What gives? Does anyone know the correct numbers? Also, I know it depends on preference but are the hi-bends too tall for someone 5'7" with a short torso?

You are absolutely correct about the differing measurements for CR-High bend. Actually, the stock KDX bend is quite close to a regular CR bend w/ approx 77 rise, and 62 pullback. (approx) Myself, I like straighter bars, and I would go with something in the 89-92 bend w/ about 58 pullback. The Demarini Hi Cr and YZ bends are in this range, with the YZ being the taller of the two. Mighty tough bars, too, and they do help cut the vibrations.
