My stock bars bent just looking at them funny. The Protapers I replaced them with have been dropped several times now, no damage to anything other than my pride...

I have also tried the tusk bars and find they are low quality. You get what you pay for, my favorite cheap bars are the MSR and Moose brand aluminum bars. Renthal and Pro taper are great but cost more. Keep in mind no bar is bend proof no matter the cost. Bark busters seem to help as well as I have had the same renthals on my KDX for seven years and it has been down a few times.

Thanks for all the replies. After considering all your input I find a company in Canada that is selling the PROTAPER atv hi for $65 plus $9 shipping. I am going with that one. Thanks again for all the info, greatly appreciated.

Where did you order it from?

IIRC, 65$ is what I paid for mine at the dealer...
