Yeah, I do. I bought my bike used and it had low miles on it so I assumed the bars were stock being they were steel and just plain black. But turned out after some research that I had MSR bars lol. I don't know what bend they are for sure as to what bike/name model, I assume they are the KX. However, I do know they are the low version. Personally, I think I may want the high version, espeically if your going to use the bar pad, which you should, for safety purposes. I ended up cutting off about 3/4" off of each end. I wanted to take a full inch but then I wouldn't of had room for all the controls, plus it would of bunched up the cables and wires too bad. I should have gone with my original though of 1/2". So I just said, "split the difference" and went with 3/4". I prefer the narrower bars for more control. Plus, they say to do pushups and measure the width of that and cut your bars accordingly. Thats another reason why I like my bars narrow. But like I said I want them higher. That and I like my bars more forward. To me, if they are high, narrow, and forward, I can exercise alot more control over the bike. I actually considered getting the MSR high-mini (short) bars.
