KXcam22:
Hi All,
  I started this tread to find out what everyone is running for bars. What is best and what is toughest.  I'm back in the dark ages with my chromoly bars (but easy to straighten). I'ts time to move up to something aluminum.  What does everyone think is the best and why!!

teamgreen500:
I'm 5'9" and was "raised' on the lay-out that the K5 is based on (Mid-late '80s KX), so I'm partial to the low and flat set-up. I run RM, CR or KX low, depending on the type pf riding. I've also had good luck with the J-Mac and Henry bends.

Paul:
I run the KX Hi Pro Tapers with solid aluminum spacers - the stock rubbers one suck - and 10mm offset forward risers. I've had the beast get away from me on a couple jumps, one in particular landed the bike on the bars (looped). That one broke the top triple clamp but i'm still running the Pro Tapers, they aren't even tweaked alittle :lol:

HULKSTER:
I've been checking out them Flex Bars.....they are getting a lot of good reviews.

mikesmith:
