just cut the tabs off the plastic controls so you can put them anywhere... and if you crash they will spin instead of break.

I know I don't have my bike yet, but these handlebars are very appealing and I'm tempted to buy before I get the new KLX. I like them cuz they're cheap and look pretty stout and you don't pay for the name like with more expensive bars. But can anyone tell me the difference between the mid, low, and high bends? What part of the bar are they talking about, the height from the bottom up orthe angle to which the ends are bent up? What is closest to stock? I don't have a very wide wingspan , so what would fit me best? I've always been an oem kind of guy except once I boughtsome answer alumilites back in '92 when I bent my oem KX bars. I don't remember what bend they were though. thx

After you get the bike, compare the measurements against the fitment guide that can be found here http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/handlebarinfo.do

Default Folding Mirrors

Where did you get those folding mirrors. They look like they will take a beating.
