Looking for a stock set of KTM bars. Gotta be from a KTM not a Husky.

Should have no problem finding these as all the magazines seem to prefer the PT Husqvarna bar over the Neken.

If you can wait Protaper is supposed to have the same bend in the Evo line available later this summer.

I’m not sure why anyone would want these Nelson bars, other than the bend itself. The bars are rigid and transfer harshness to your arms/ hands.
I have thrown out the last 5 pairs that came on my bikes. I didn’t know anyone would want them… lol

I may have to do that. One of my friends thinks he has a spare set laying round, if not I will be in touch, thanks.

The bend fits me like a glove, and I am not that picky on bar flex. I bet if they slapped a "Pro-Taper" sticker on them and claimed were a new bend, all the magazines would rave about how great they are haha. People need to stop basing their opinions off of podcasts....3 of my friends said the exact same words...shocking that they all idolize Keefer...

My stock Kawi bars are too high and odd feeling...so I am going to try something I know works well.

I don’t have a clue what Kris said, but once o changed my first set of bars, I wondered why I waited so long. My 2 cents…

Is the Husky bend that different? I think it is a couple mm higher and a couple mm less sweep. If you can feel that you could definitely tell the difference between a Neken and protaper evo bar.

It was the first thing I changed when I got my 21. The stock bars were way to low for me. 5”10 185lbs. The evo windham/ Rm high work great for me.
