Can anyone confirm which bars will fit the XT without any raisers (looking to buy in the UK). I'd like to replace the bars with something that resists bending when I bin the bike down the lanes (as I have this last weekend
 - now my left is 2 inches lower than the right!)
Thanks in advance

Hi Matt, there are 3 different types of off road bars on the market. First 2 are Twinwall (double skinned) & Fatbars (name says it all) these bars are very strong but are also thicker than standard, and you need new handlebar clamps for them to fit.
Standard size bars (7/8" or 22.8mm) which is the type on the xt's, are available from all off road bike shops,all you have to do is pick the shape (slight differences in height and angles, designed to please individual riders) and colour.
These bars will fit straight on except for the drilling of two small locating holes on each side,they stop the indicator switches etc and the throttle assembly from spinning around.Just copy from the original bars! See pics.
P.S. make sure you buy alloy bars NOT STEEL !
The alloy bars are A LOT STRONGER!!!!
