HI my names Dan great site with great info.I used too have a 94 kx500 but sold it looking too get another now.I'm 6'6" tall.I just looked thru some other posts about handle bars.I'm looking too put standard aluminum or protaper style bars on but would like too raise and push forward the riser.I read one about a modded cr80 mount?Maybe some one could give me more info?Or does someone know of some one that makes new mounts.Would also not mind getting ride of the rubber in the mounts.Thanks for any info.Dan

Sorry also if anybody had info on someone that makes a taller seat foam and cover like 1-2 inchs taller.If no companys do is it hard too do your self and have a cover made?Thanks again.

Welcome bigdan, Rick is the guy that can answer this properly. He also is in the 6'6" range and has his bike scienced out for the tall rider.

Hey Dan.  I just replaced my bars and clamps with Pro Taper.  I did that because I wanted to use my Scott's dampner from my 4-stroke and put it on my 2-stroke.  I called the guys at Scotts and they are very helpful.  They have every Pro-Taper bar imaginable and several clamp offsets you could want using the stock triple clamps.  Of course, you could spring for the adjustable, rubber mounted, late model Pro Circuit top triple clamp which would give you more offset options, but if you want to run a dampner, you're somewhat limited on where the bars sit from front to rear.  But they have every other bar imaginable for height.  I purchased the CR-HI bar and used the Scott's lower bar clamp with the top billet clamp the fits the dampner.  The bars are a little bit higher and the offset is a bit more forward.  Give them a look.  www.scottsonline.com

Answer makes a top mount for there Pro Taper bars that has a lot of front to rear adjustment and can be run with or without rubber mounts.

Im 6'4 bought kx high protapers and went with a mount from http://dh1racing.com/ It allows the bars forward and believe they have a raised mount.  Mounts also accept scotts damper.
