looking to replace my stock bars and wanted to ask around about it before buying the wrong ones. first what is a good durable brand? what bend should i get and does the diameter matter?

Your stock steering stem is setup for 7/8" bars. Unless you buy a new clamp or an adapter you cannot use the 1 1/8". I like Pro Taper Contours. I use the Woods High bend because I like my bars up high

So is the bend of the bars toward you or upward?

 

[Redracer]

The bend is up

Any idea what stock bars bent is? Hi mid low?

 

[Redracer]

If I remember correctly its about the same as mid

Agree^^^^^^^^^^^on the bend of the stock bars being around a mid.
I use Tag Metals X5 bars.
I really like them. They are close to the stock bend.

i think for $65 on motosport you can buy some really nice Pro Taper SE CR High Bend bars. Very comfortable if you ask me. Big improvement over stock.

Well, the bend is how high the handlebars sit. the Low bend are really short and in my mind aren't very comfortable. The Mid bend is what alot of the manufacturers use for stock handlebars like the 400ex. i replaced mine only due to the fact mine were bent. I upgraded to the high bend because Im really tall and I need the bars lifted a little. I dont know if this helped but i tried.
