I am looking for a set of aluminum bars that are most like the stock ones in terms of dimensions. Which ones do you all use? Will aluminum bars cut back much on the vibes~~~~????~~~~~ Thanks, Dave>>>

Hi Dave, I recently installed a set of Renthal 666 bars on mine - 7/8 twin walls. The width is the same as factory KLR bars; the rise is slightly lower (approx. 1 inch), the sweep is about the same, and they have the same long crossbar...on which I mount all kinds of goodies - about $60.00 retail. I also added brass inserts to help reduce the vibration.

Hey David, I also replaced my bent stock bars with the Renthal 666 bars.I filled mine up with silicone caulking and added 1 inch risers.I love mine.So much less vibration that the stock bars. I also have maier handguards and I had to make a crossmember about 1/2 inch longer to accomodate the maier handguards. Regards,Gary

Scott, How do you compare the Renthal 666 bars to stock for vibration? What about before and after for the brass inserts? Norm

I have started a new Smugmug site with some of the pictures I've taken in the 13,000 miles I've but on my KLR 650 so far this year. Enjoy!
