I think they're all just moto bars..honestly couldn't tell u though..thee ones come with markings on both ends of the bars so u could cut them down if needed. had to buy the bar clamps to mate to my power madd riser

Id reccomend the 2 PC RSI Risers. Get a piece of 7/8" Pipe and mount you controls Inbetween the riser, if it is a Doo Rev or XP.

On my 2010 I ran renthal fat bars with the brp 2007 summit grips as they were short and had the elements inside, you will need to get a set of risers that have a 1 1/8 diameter to fit the bars. I used Advan-tech billet dog bone risers and mounted the control box between the risers in the center, and ran a long bot/nut and washer combo to fasten the controller, it looked great and kept the module out of the way of damage....
this photo was before I moved the module... as it was too tight with the brake and I did not have enough room on the bar, once I moved the module it was gravy baby...
I loved the feel and strength of the bars and the flex, but I would suggest going for as low as a bend bar as you can get, try the suzuki RM low bend if you can find that, I'm 6'2 and thought taller was better, but now I'm going a different direction this year as my Summit FR came with 1 1/8 bars stock..

in my case the new iq grips are about a inch too narrow for my hands........so i need straight bars to mount my controls in narrower for wider grips, rsi has lots to choose from, i could go wider but it just feels weird.
