Does anyone have any suggestions as to which bar bend to buy for a 6 foot tall rider for my 1980 KTM 420? The bar that is on the bike is too tweaked to get accurate measurements from it. Has anyone had success with a Pro Taper? I can do any necessary machine work for adaptors, I just need some recommendations for a usable bend style. Thanks.

I got chrome bars from Matt at Speed & Sport with a straighter bend than a normal vintage bar (less pull-back.) They are really nice to ride with. I'm 5-10 and they are perfect. Price is right too.

Thanks for the info on Speed & Sport. I also had trouble finding chrome bars and had to settle for black painted ones for my '76 250. Looks like they have some stuff for my Montesa and Bultaco too.
