Curious to hear what bars we all run and on what machine.
Personally I'm super picky and extremely loyal to Renthal.
Ive tried lots and always come back to the twin wall.
My current stack includes 827,997,971,839,Pro taper SX bend,Race bend and a few im most likely forgetting
Off a YZ450 of which i ran,and loved the 604
Now on a KX 450 and wanting a set of 996's
Im 6'1 and have never cut the cross bar.
I’m 6’3” and swear by Pro Taper Pastrana MX bend (NOT Pastrana FMX bend).
5’10” and running the stock Kawi bend. I love it.
I went with the 'magoo' bend.
5'9
YZ250X
Pro Taper Woods High Bend. Literally walked into a bike shop after bending the stock bars and that was the only bar they had in stock. I'm not picky on bars and have ran them for 2 seasons now.
The Shop
Free shipping: VITALMX
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts

On my stock Honda, I love my 839. Never felt the need to change.
Twinwall 997 2018 YZ 250 F. 5'7 140 pound 54 y/o just dusting the boots back off.
Stock Husky Protaper.
It has been a long time since I was singing so not sure where my bars are at now
For handlebars I loved the RC bend. Lower, flatter and with less sweep. Haven’t looked at the specs but I am sure its still made like that just with a different riders name on them.
Twinwall 997 on a Kawi 450
I really love my Twinwall 999 (McGrath), but I can’t fit my handguards on it. It’s a bummer.
I run stock YZ bend Fatbars.
Edit: I run SXS Flags for handguards.
971 bend Renthal 7/8" on my '06 YZ250, baby. I might graduate to the Twinwalls someday.
I think about going back to 7/8s just so I have more control room. That little bit of extra material after the crossbar on the TwinWalls is a killer
At the price Renthals are getting to be, I'm gonna try the ODI's when I wad this set of Twinwalls up.
No way, they can’t take the legends of the sports name off of them. They still exist as RC’s, McGrath, Reed, Henry etc.
I haven't looked at bar bends for 10 years. But the MC bend was always comfortable to me.
Old and was once 6’2”, Windham Bend Protapers for me.
ODI fat bars mcgrath bend. just switched to ODI a few months ago & was running the mcgrath crossbar. 2 weeks ago started running the fat bar. love em. I came off renthals for 2 years then pro tapers for 2 years. Obvious reason for switching from pro taper to ODI is no responses to emails, no renewal of rider support, no inventory. I'm glad i did though i like the odi.
Best answer in this thread 👍🤣
Pit Row
Renthal Twinwall 996 on all my motorcycles. I need the crossbar in my field of view for some reason, i tried a fat bar and felt like i was going to fly over the bars … weird i know!
slightly bent stock Kawi Renthal fatbars
Mine say Pro Taper on both bikes. Probably the best ones they make
Same here I was 6,3 now 6,1 back is all compressed from junk trks . Protaper Windham bend but they don’t make bars anymore. Any other co make a Windham bend ?
Same. I ran the original Pro Tapers when they came out, but man I like seeing a cross bar pad when ridding for some reason.
Renthal Fat Bar RC High for life.
6’4”
Pro taper sx race
7/8 bars are so comfortable. I miss them actually.
Use to run tomac. Now I run stock kawi
971 twinwalls
971 7/8s on the steely YZ125 with a cloth bar pad of course
Keep it twisted, haha
