In the quest for more back comfort, I'd like to fit some bars that are
at least an inch or two taller. I'm sure others have made the same
mod and I wonder if anyone has run into any problems with throttle and
clutch cable length. I'm sure my SS brake line will be long enough as
it's at least an inch or so longer than the stock item.
Also seeking suggestions for good bar choices that might fit the bill.

taller bars and cables
I know many on this group have recommended the Renthal
"Desert Bend" bar.
I have a Honda Transalp in addition to my KLR. Many
on their list are recommending the Rentahl "Dakar"
bar.
The "Dakar" bar is about similar but about 1/2" to 1"
taller than the "Desert" bar and I believe it even has
a little more sweep.
The Problem: This "Dakar" bar is not offered in the
US. I have found a Renthal distibutor in the U.K. who
will ship these to me. They are around $50 each but
shipping is about the same as the bar. He has advised
that shipping is not that much more if he ships
several of these.
If anybody on the list is interested in this bar and
wants to share some of the shipping cost, Please let
me know and we can probably get a better deal.
Also, if anybody wants dimensions on this bar, I can
provide it also.
