FZ09 pro taper
Bought this last month for my FZ09 and so happy I did. Plug and play as described. Videos online for installation instructions. Better than oem yamaha handle bar sits lower and looks awesome and feels aggressive. Skill level medium for installation.

good bar for WR250r (yz high)
Seems like a good bar, the bend (YZ High) is similar to stock although not exactly the same. I like the durable outside coating on the bar, it resists abrasion better then other brands. I got this for my wr250r but honestly I didn't end up keeping it. I ended up going with the same protaper bar but in a KTM/Suzuki bend, it just suited me better. Obviously all these bends are ultimately personal preference. As for the YZ High bend, if I had to use it I'm sure it would be fine, I like the angle feel of the stock bars. I'd say if your looking for protaper bar with the same bend as stock WR, the stock bar would land somewhere between YZ High and KTM/Suzuki. The KTM/Suzuki bar being slightly more flat across.

Great bars
Bought these bars mid season with the windham bend, made a huge difference with handling and arm fatigue, I ride all single tack x-country. a great bend for any rider really, super comfortable to stand all day.

Great handlebar
I chose the EVO Carmichael for a slightly forward lean ergonomics when I did the customization of the RE INT650. Fit and finish of the bar is great, I'd say it's on par, if not better than, lots of high-end OEM bars.
Because of the thicker wall, the ID is about 14mm, which can limit the choice of accessories. I installed a pair of solid copper internal weights made by Active from Japan for vibration damping since day one, so I can't speak for the vibration characteristics without them, but the bar feels great.

Pro taper bars
Bought these ADV high bar for my 700 Tenere they specifically said that the high would fit.
They fit but with a lot of re routing of cables and hoses.
I’m overall pleased with the bar but would have probably gone with the standard fit.

evo high bar
these bars were guaranteed fit for my bike but turned out not to be without a lot of fiddling. the clutch cable and brake lines need to be rerouted in order to work properly and I had to tap the bars 1.5x 16mm so that the stock bar end weights would work. you would be better off to go with the standard EVO bar.

Great and it does come with a pad.
I replaced a cheap tusk chub bar on my KLX300 and this protaper MX Race is the best bend / fit for the KLX 300 as it offsets the height of the adapter (7/8 to 1 1/8) and makes the clutch cable fit easily. Also it accomodates the required 205mm needed of control area on the clutch side if you are using lock-on grips. I BOUGHT A PAD BECAUSE NOWHERE IN DESCRIPTION IT SAYS IF ONE COMES IN BOX OR NOT AND YES IT DOES, THE PROTAPER YELLOW WHITE AND BLACK COMES WITH THE BAR.
