KLR600 Handlebar

One of the popular replacement bars for the KLR650 was the ProTaper SE ATV High Bend (around $70). That particular bar is higher than the stock bar, but maintained roughly the same width and pull. It was a good standing bar for virtually all riders.

While, normally, I would have replaced the KLR600 bar with the ProTaper, I decided to save a few bucks and go with an alternative. The alternative is the Tusk T-10 Aluminum Handlebar in the ATV Sport Bend (around $30). The savings were put toward a set of aluminum Tusk Hand Guard Frames ($30) and a fresh set of Tusk Waffle Grips ($5).

Specs on the T-10 in ATV Sport Bend (stock in brackets) are 31.75" wide (stock 31.90") , 6.25" high (stock 3.0"), with A 3.50" pull (stock 3.90"). The T-10 comes in other bends, details of which are provided on the RMATV website.

The T-10 provides a perfect height for my needs. I got it in blue to sort of match the seat. Not that I'm trying to make a fashion statement or anything. 😎
