Default handlebar replacement on 09 KLX250SF?

I purchased some Zeta hand guards for my SF and I realized they won't work with the OEM bars. Does anyone have recommendations for a handlbar replacement? I have seen pics with Zeta bars on however I am not sure what size/bend to get.

Im guessing its because of the metal blocks welded into the ends of the bars.

Why do they do that?

Tusk bars from Rocky Mountain ATV are a pretty good value. Here's a good link for size info: http://www.rockymountainatv.com/handlebarinfo.do

this worked for me. just used the stock 8MM bolts that came with the kit (cycra) and tapped into the weights.

I went with the Pro Taper KX low bend from Rocky Mtn ATV. Pretty much the same spec's as the CR Mid's however not as tall.

Any advise on do's and dont's of replacing the bars? Wasn't sure if there was an order of operations....

Thanks!
