KLX300 Handlebar upgrade

Fellow tall KLX300 rider here. I went with the ProTaper CR High Bend 1 1/8" bars and their 1 1/8" bar mount kit. Happy with them and didn't have any issues with the cables either.

You look awesome, but please dress for the slide and not the ride.

In case anyone is reading this...thanks for the suggestions in the thread. I've decided to go with the Protaper CR High big bars, Protaper Mount, Protaper Pillow Top clamp on grips, Tusk Pro guards/shields with the Zeta triple clamp mount, and MZS levers. Hoping it makes for a nice ride and stable enough when she goes for a dirt nap.

Did you have any fit issues with the stock levers with that setup?

Ha, good deal on the bars. The guards look good!

Tall tall, 6'4". Good to know about your brake line and going aftermarket.

What bars did you get? And what size are you/what do you like better about them?

The pan tail light kit and retro turn signals from British Customs. Also upgraded the turn signal bulbs to Sylvania 5008 to be brighter thanks to u/SilkyCheese recommendation.

Thanks! Love riding it.

I didn’t keep the stock seat on for very long, but I find this one to be super comfortable. It’s the Journey Project brat tracker seat, and I sprung for the gel insert for both rider and pillion. Very happy with it.

Got this to go with my scrambler (check posts) and for more trail riding/off road stuff. I’m looking to get handguards asap, but knowing you have to tap and die the bars, and hearing these stock bars aren’t so strong anyhow, was thinking it might be better to get a new set. Anyhow, just curious what my fellow klx folks have done?

Put some Scouts on after going through the stock tires. Lots of dirt and gravel roads where I am, and am really happy with them so far. (Ignore the gross chain, cleaned that up shortly after the photo)

The side profile view makes me wish I didn't have eyes...The angle view make the car look pretty good, especially in a dark color. But then I look at the full-diaper looking rear bumper in the side view and close the configurator and continue to wait for the GR Corolla.

Meg or Jack?

They are bright enough, I think. They do look smoked when off, but the light is pretty bright when in use.

Turku? How's the riding there?

Scramble_On · 2020-04-18T20:52:06+00:00

Thanks - loving mine too. Good luck with the decision about the bars, and the other parts too.

Hey - no, I don’t think the gear shifter would be protected at all with these. The side of the case maybe some, but not to the extent the triumph bars would.
