Handlebar question
I´ve read in a thread here someone saying that the Renthal CR High bend is pretty close to the stock handlebar. Could anyone please confirm that the stock bar width is 760mm?
I was about to order a new handlebar, but I decided to measure the stock one first, and I am glad I did. The CR High bend is 795mm. I am thinking I´ll have problems with the [stupid] short clutch cable.
Now, I remember...it was Highbeam that uses (or used) the Renthal. Help?!

I just put a set of Renthal Fatbars on my bike, in CR High bend. They're a little wider than the stock bars but the bend and height looked pretty similar to me.
I got everything to fit with 30 mm risers so you should be fine. I slid the lever perches in a little and had to reroute the clutch cable and the wiring for the switches. Throttle and brake were ok.

Wide bars are why God gave us the pipe cutter! I've used one numerous times on various bikes to slightly narrow them. My first MX bars were 38". I rode once with them then cut like 3" off each end. If you don't like the width and there is room to move controls, cut them down. It's normal.

Then you need to shorten them a little. Or, check your routing.

The CR high smight be a touch wider but nothing worth worrying about. I held them against each other (OEM and CR high) while both were off and couldn't tell any difference. Maybe there were a couple of mm diff in length, I didn't notice. What's a millimeter anyway? Not enough to hurt your controls.

I just put a pair of beautiful gray Pro-Taper SEs in a CR - :igh bend on my KLX. They are approx.the width and rise. I also added some risers. Only isasaue I have is left mirror will not fit properly because the bend in the bar is where the mirroe ashould sit. I ground some off the mirror bracket but its still not correct.
