I've recently bought a 2014 Husqvarna FC 250 and i'm trying to find some Carmichael bend renthal twinwalls. I've found some Carmichael bend, OEM Kawasaki/Honda twinwall bars and some KTM bend. I am assuming the RC bend Kawasaki/Honda only fit Kawasaki and Honda's. Where can i find some for my bike? Also do i want 7/8" or 1 1/8"?

TwinWalls are 1 1/8" only. The 999 bend is close to a Carmachel bend. Compare the 999 specs to the Carmichael specs on the Pro Taper website.

And are the clamps on my Husky 1 1/8" ? Surely i can get Twinwalls for Husqvarna's. I've never tried the pro taper 999 so a bit of a pain if there no good for me.

I don't know- I ride Honda motorcycles.

There is a feature on the Renthal website that lets you compare bar bends.

Why will the RC twinwalls be higher than the standard bars? my bike has high bend fat bars on it at the moment which are no good for me as i'm 5.9".

I saw in your op you thought the Honda/Kawi bars only fit Hondas and Kawis. The oem Honda/Kawi RC high bars are just the stock bend that come on Hondas and Kawis, so you can use them on any bike.

Now on your bars the should be a number. Renthals usually have it just above the setting numbers and it will be 9xx. When you find that, go to renthals website and find that bend so you can see how talk they are. Then you can browse around and see what bend you would actually like to get now. Maybe look into the Reed/McGrath/Stewart bend.

I run the Pro Taper RC bend, it took the place of the old RM lo. I'm 5'6" so I like a low bar with little sweep.
