    pro taper makes the xr50 bend bars that are high. im 6'2" also and they worked good for me, some like the pastrana bends and 110 bends. i got a set of the easton exp tall bars (woods/atv/standup) that i havent been able to try yet, they are slighly taller than the 50 bends (because of the 7/8 to 1 3/8 adapters they come with) and a little wider

    $100 with the adapters that fit into 7/8 mounts, comes with all hardware including torque specs etched on the mounts and the hex head socket for a ratchet and free shipping from motosport.com



    you have to enter a bike make and model for it to let you order the kit, so enter 06 ktm65sx because that bike has 7/8 mounts (thats what i entered) they might still have them for sale but its been a couple months



    you can go to eastons website to choose which bend/bars you want and just enter the part # when you go to motosport.com to order them

    I would recommend getting a top triple clamp also. The BBR one moves the bars forward an inch and up an inch and a half. You'll need a front brake cable too.

    I don't like the Protaper SE xr50 bars I have on mine.. they seem too tall for me and I'm 6'. Redirt, those eastons are taller than these? that picture makes them look about 2" lower for some reason.

    Re: New guy here,,,bars ? Im 6'2''

    ^.. well, i cant say for sure anymore. i sold my 50 bends and when i measured the height the 50's were on the kx60 frontend i sold. i remember they were very close to the same height (measuring from the stem nut to the grip height) because of the added height of the adapter that converts from 7/8 to 1 3/8.



    i dont have much experience in what height i would like, always rode my brothers 250's and friends spare bikes.



    this is my first bike i have ever owned and its been a few months since i rode it and i have never ridden with this frontend or bars cause im a broke as$ with too many hobbies and a job that doesnt pay s#it so finishing this year and a half long project has been slow to say the least. sucks too cause by the time i get to ride it im sure the temps here will be in the mid 90's.. at least it will be fast enough to get a good breeze blowing through the helmet haha
