    Has anyone changed the bars on there txc250? If so what did you go with? Im used to Pro Taper kx rise and wonder how they would perform on a husky.

    I love my Pro Taper Contour Pastrana FMX bend...perfect for standing!

    I'm kinda wondering that myself. I was basically unable to stand with the bike in stock form. After adding the motosportz damper AND leaving the stock spacers in place, I can now ALMOST stand straight up. I rode this past weekend in REALLY greasy conditions (imagine 2" of wheel bearing grease on a garage floor) and had a tough time getting above the attack position... so I spent most of the time on my rear. I think just a tad more height in the bars would be perfect.

    Also, I turned my handlebar mounts forward with my bars pushed a little forward to put my in an aggressive stance over the front.

    How tall are you? I'm experimenting with different bars on my txc250. Right now I have some Pro Taper Mini Hi bars. I like the height -- could even use some more -- but I think I prefer normal width.

    Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I'm 5'9" and my buddy always notices that my bars are not as wide as the stock ones. It isn't that noticeable to me and I might cut off another 1/2". Just looked it up on the web...most bars are 800mm and these are 775mm...1 inch total difference.
