bent my stock handlebars... what bend?

[J.J.]

i went on a joyous ride flipping down a dune and bent my stock handlebars.. i managed to bend them back up enough to finish the ride but i need to get some new ones...

what bend is the factory bars? my dad has pro taper mid bends on his suzuki but they just dont feel right to me.. i want it to feel EXACTLY like the stock bars but i want to get something stronger..

anyone have any advice? would the low bend work for me or do i need to look into somethin else?

I'd say you wont find something EXACTLY like stock that is also stronger... you could however find something with similar feeling. Soemone makes a 400ex bend but im not sure it would be same as stock.

I got CR bend from renthal, they feel alot different, look alot different but I like them more. I just kinda need risers haha the height is lower than stock.

i like my t-2s, they are double high but still not quite as high as stock. i got bigger clamps for the 1 1/8 bars so that made up the difference in the inch or so that i lost. they dont vibrate much like any aftermarket decent bar. I think renthal actually made a 400ex bend a while ago didnt they? steve

If you are still willing to give them away I would like the stock bars. Mine are bent. If you give me your address I will send you a shipping label. Thanks in advance.

I have pro tapper cr bend on my 400.I had the renthals and could not stand them.You need risers for the pro tappers but i think they are prob the best bars i have had.

If you like the stock bend and you want to get a better stronger bar the Renthall 400ex bend will be the same.

If you have a stock steering stem then if you go with a stock bar it will in most cases just bend the bar if you turn it over and not the stem.

If you put the Renthall bars on with a stock steering stem then if you flip it, it can and will bend the stem.

Also if you have your leavers just loose enough to move if you turn it over they will in most cases rotate on the bar instead of breaking.

Get some quad bend tag t2 fat bars. I used to have them on my quad, i would say there similar to stock as far as bend and height. Here is a pic of them.
