1) I recently purchased the renthal desert vintage high bar to replace the stock handle bars on my 99 KLR. I bought these bars because according to the measurements given by the KLR FAQ and Renthal, these bars were over an inch taller than the stock bars. Since I spend alot of time off road I wanted the extra height for standing. When I finally got the stock bars off and held them up to the new renthal bars I was very dissappointed to find that the stock bar was a full 1/2 inch TALLER than the Renthal. I double checked the renthal model number and measurements and I got what I ordered. The bar is wider than stock and the sweep is less, but the height is way off. Can anybody explain this? 2) Has anybody used the 18mm handlebar raiser from Eagle? If so what are your impressions? Thanks for your replies, Garr

I just bought an extra set of stock bar clamps (the piece that clamps down on the bars) and put them under the bars as a spacer, some longer bolts and voila. Cheap and works great. Riley A15 Montreal

The Renthal Desert Vintage bend handlebars are as close to the stock KLR dimensions as you will find in an aftermarket aluminum handlebar. The ProTaper SE ATV Mid bend handlebars are about an inch taller than stock but they have some less pull back. The Eagle risers will raise and move the handlebars closer to you about 3/4".
