Ok I couldn't wait so I "ran an errand" The "KX" wont work. What does match up is the "woods hi ". If you log on to Tucker Rocky Distributing,click on the consumers link it will open the catalog,then you can search by part # ProTaper has two fat bars in woods hi. The EVO part #024005 is black, #022895 is bronze. Contour part # 027960 is bronze, #027957 is black. Part # 022821 is the clamp. The clamp has a half moon profile on the bottom that fits in the stock saddle. It will raise the bars about 1/2 inch. Easy as pie Hpoe this helps, let me know how it goes.

I'd like to recommend the Ricky Carmichael signature Renthals if anyone wants wider, higher bars. They're the best thing I've done to my KLX... and the only thing so far. lol

It's in the shop for stiffer Kayaba springs front and rear, I may re-edit this post.

Awesome! Thanks so much, RoverDude! I owe you one. So you say its the same bends as stock? My dad mentioned that you get a bit of rise from the clamp the bars will use, and I wouldn't mind a slightly taller bar. Not like 2 or 3 inches like some people, though.

I've been looking at the Pro-Taper Contour... the Tusk bars aren't offered in the bend or color that I'd like. I may hop on Sleezebay and see what I can find.

I held the woods bars up to the stock bars and the match was almost exact. I think the contour bar are the way to go, or renthal, the evo's are too high priced. Glad to help. Let us know what you get.
