alternative to stock bars on '06 EC300?

[brider]

I'll try to post a photo, but the stock bars on my '06 EC300 (got it used) have a bend that kicks my elbows out too far, and won't allow my clutch lever to rotate down far enough because the banjo fitting hits the bend in the bar. The position of the lever makes me look like a squid with it pointing way too level or "flat", rather than down, like I like it.

Does anyone have a suggested replacement bar that works?

Fat bars (1 1/8")?
Moose makes a Burleson bend bar and also an XC bend that are short already, and basically a very high CR High bend. I like the look of them, and have a pair that I'm going to try when I next change grips.

I like the TrailTech bar, but it came too long and I had to cut it off and drill it out to compensate for the length of the bark buster anchors.

The old favorite Pro Taper Hawkins High bend bars are now the Woods Hight bend and now are 32" wide. When cut down to size, I had to drill the ends on them, also. I couldn't believe that they had changed them.

I run CR high and Yamaha high bend mini bars.
They do not need to be cut down and bark busters/controls fit like they should.

I've run Yamaha mini bars in the past, when I was a more serious racer, and the enduros were more tight between the trees. They were a 7/8" bar.

Where did you fine the CR High bend minibike bars, and what brand? How are they designated? Are they available in aluminum and/or oversized?


Thanks in advance!
