x2 handlebar suggestions

[inchadeboca]

can anyone recommend some aftermarket handlebars for my x2 and i dont want the umi ones, because i dont like the pull back on them. and the rise is too much. i looked at renthal, but i am so confused because they have a billion and one different sizes. can some give me a starting point. i have the accusteer steering on there now.

I like my FLY bars, but not sure exactly what ones they are.

im using some stock ones from a 07 kx dirtbike. i like them ok. if i was going to spend the jack go for pro taper. ive never used them on an x2 but on bikes and quads they are the chit imho

I always liked the UMI's on my old X2. But I will say they are weak! MX or ATV bars are twice as strong. My friend ran me over once and his ski bent the UMI's. Then I bent a second set when the ski fell off a stand into the yard.

I have my Accusteer machined for 1-1/8" bars. I think the Ricky Charmichael fat bars are the closest dimensions to the UMI's. You don't want a super high bar like a mini/pit bike bend but you don't want just a regular CR Low/Hihg style either. The CR High or low bend are not tall enough in my opinion.

But what do I know? I am stumped what bend/size I want...

Just remember the Accusteer is about an inch lower than the stock steering, so you may want to make that up if your tall.

Which bend are you running?

 

[madscientist]

they are only like 1.5 or so i believe pretty straight and the bar pad almost touches the
head of the steering knuckle

i like a taller bar. but i don't ride surf.

has anyone ever used the tag oversize bars on an x2?

 

[madscientist]

they are the fly mini's ( mine )

oversized can be done w/ the removal of material from the clamps
