What Handlebar Width Do You Run?
Albertan:
Renthal 971 bend, stock width, with Acerbis Multiplo handguards. I think adding handguards that plug into the bar ends do reduce vibration a bit too.
Johnniespeed:
The yo yo says, 30 inches. I have Acerbis bark busters that add maybe 3/4 of an inch also. Smashed fingers and broken levers dictate the need for bark busters,even though I havent hit any trees lately.

I'm 6'6', 275lbs on a 98 kx500. I'll take all the stability I can get... full width(maybe31.5) on Pro-taper contour, CR high bend. I might try the Pro-t KX high bend next which is about an inch taller, oh ya, i've been running Moose 50 mm riser blocks in the top clamp with no problems. I was worried how they'd hold up on crashes, Moose bark busters too.... since i do crash sometimes,, they save the grips and levers not to mention cute little pinky fingers, and probebly add 1.5 inches to overall width.. Important to mention I'm a woods rider, and still go prety wide. I really do think i'm to big for this bike.lol.

I just replaced my 1 1/8 TAG bar with one from www.rockymountainmc.com it's their house brand (Tusk) and is called the "Chub" bar. It's 1 1/8 and the CR High Bend. So far I love the bar; it looks great (powder coated black), is real strong, and the bend is awesome. I jumped on my friends new RMZ450 (100% stock) and it didn't feel right. I recommend all to use the high bend; it forces your riding position to be more aggressive and helps when you're standing.
