Handlebar Question

[grtpumpkin]

Trying to identify some bars on a 2006 300.
Does a 2006 EC 300 come stock with 7/8 bars or would it have come with 1 1/8 bars stock? I believe they would be Hebo brand bars.

..Does a 2006 EC 300 come stock with 7/8 bars or would it have come with 7/8 bars stock?

It came stock with 1-1/8" bars or 1-1/8" bars came stock

It came stock with 1-1/8" bars or 1-1/8" bars came stock

Thank you Dave.

Looking for info on finding out what the bend of the stock bars is. I'm looking to upgrade my bars and I like the bend of the 06 EC300 stock bars.

Do the stock bars match up, as far as bend is concerned, to any of the common aftermarket bars? Like maybe a CR low or high bend for example. Either Renthal or Protaper etc. I realize this may be an impossibility to find out but I figured I would ask in hopes someone will know.

they are hebo bars if that helps not sure what bend they equal to though

Just upgrade to the hebo 1-1/8 bars. I just ordered the bar clamps and mounting bolts. I was able to use my stock triple clamp. It was the best money I ever spent on my bike.

The '06 bars look just like the late model KTM bars.

Thanks for the responses gents.

I'm just looking at my options. I thought if I could figure out what bend those stock Hebos are then I might be able to find that particular bend in the 7/8's bar. I would like to get the fat bars but I'm also trying to keep the cost to a minimum. Those stock bars are $150.00. Ouch. Then another $65.00 for the top clamp and about another $60.00 for the adapters to mount the bar.
Just weighing my options.

$150!! You sure?? I got mine for something like $55 or $60 dollars from my local dealer.

Like Eric said, late model GG Hebo fat bars are almost exactly like late model KTM SX bars. I have both and they are as close as you can get. If $$ is a concern look on ebay or the KTMtalk classifieds, many of those guys swap the OEM Renthal KTM SX bars for a taller bend. I'm sure someone here has GG OEM fat bar mounts they would sell as well.

I have a set of stock '05 GasGas "fat bars" I'll sell you for $40 + shipping. They have two rides on them from when I flew in to ride my bike before Jim Cook shipped it.
