    86 250R aluminum handlebars

    I bought a MSR aluminum Dominator ATV bar and installed it on my 86 R. The bar is way too tall. The bar is too wide at the clamping area. In other words, I did not have enough straight grip area on the bar to mount my clutch and brake on. I had to strech the cable and line to much to mount them. I tried a dirt bike bar, it was too low. I do not really want to put on stem risers for that seems like that will push the dirt bike bar too far back towards me. Is there an aluminum trike bar? I am to the point of just getting my stock steel bars chromed. By the way, stock 85/86 bars are discontinued for those who did not know. Are TRX 250R bars are still available, are they the same as ATC 250R bars?

    I use Renthals with a 400EX bend. They're as close to stock as I could find. The universal ATV bend Renthals are also close.

    Renthal ATV Race

    I've been running the Renthal ATV Race bar for a couple of yrs on my 86R and love it.
