Which aftermarket handlebar clamps?

I just got a new 7/8" Renthal bar for my XT, and while I've not taken it all apart yet I suspect the left stock handlebar clamp is bent as well as the bar. I am having trouble finding aftermarket clamps that I know would fit. I would like to go with something from Pro Taper, or just about anyone else. Anyone have experience with this bike's clamps?

Thanks.


Edit.. Would any of these from Pro Taper work?

I have the pro taper clamps on my XTX right now..

The only problem is the pro taper clamps bolts are 12mm, I replaced the 12mm bolts with modified 10mm ones.

Thanks Kev.. Can you elaborate on the bolts? What did you do? Where did you get them?

When you buy the clamps as I said they have 12mm bolts. You can get some 10mm ones machine up with a 12mm step through the clamps like I did or buy some 10mm Allan key bolts & grind the edge off the head of the bolt to suite the new clamps.

Just check with your supplier, as you might be able to get the clamps with 10mm these days, I did my bar conversion over 2 years ago.

Here is some photos of the removed 12mm bolt.

^ Thanks Kev. I understand now, the Yam has 10mm bolts, the PT kit ships with 12mm. I have emailed them to see if they have started shipping any with 10mm bolts, but it seems unlikely. I don't have many options in finding and grinding my own bolts so I might just have to get an OEM setup from the stealership.
