I replaced the OEM bars on my XTX for renthals and I'm very happy with them. renthal do a whole range of different bar dimensions so you should be able to find something that suits. I went for a bar that was a little shorter and pulled back a little further than the OEM. I think it was the streetfighter model.

I've never dropped the bike but people who have say that the oem are a little on the soft side, bend easy and leave you with an un ride-able bike. Most renthals are the standard 7/8 inch outside diameter so the standard grips, leaver and mirror brackets fit. The main difference is the renthal bars have about double the wall thickness. So they don't bend like cheese when they hit the floor.

Because of the thicker wall of the renthal bars your standard bar ends wont fit, so you'll need to get some of these with your renthals.

I rate them.
