Default Bent my handlebars. What should I Buy?

I dumped the bike for the first time this weekend going up a hill and bent the stock bars. I now need to replace them, the grips and add new hand guards, Any Suggestions

Seems that we are all on a path of destruction!!!! I used Tusk CR highs cause i'm kinda cheap. I enjoy them.

I also use the Tusk, they're nice bars. It's the "house brand" at Rocky Mountain ATV. I didn't see the need to pay double (or more) for the "name brand" bars. Tusk bars are $27.99, and you can get Tusk handguards to go with them...

I wasn't correcting you, while you were typing I was looking up the link. Like you, I paid $24.99 for mine...

I got Moose Competition Handlebars (didn't know about the Tusk brand @ RockyMountainATVMC at the time) in the XC bend. I wanted bars no longer than 30" for woods riding. These had almost the same bend as the Burelson bend in the Flex Series. Make sure to spring for some "quality" alum bark busters while you're at it.

Got some Renthal "Jimmy Button" enduro 7/8 bars thrown in when I got the bike. They're tuff! Going to get some Barkbusters VPS handguards. They're tuff too.[sm=bling.gif]

I just got back from Cycle Gear and i bought a set of pro taper SE Henry/Reed bars w/pad for $64.oo. The were running a special buy the bars and get a set of pro taper pillow top grips for free. They said the pro taper had a lifetime warranty any time i bend the bars bring them in and they will get anotherfor FREE.
