Renthal handlebar comparison tool

Sorry if you already know about this but this tool allows you to compare a set of bars by renthal with the OE fitment bars... https://www.renthal.com/worksfit/

I'm planning on buying some new bars for the drz and this is extremely useful.

Bought mine from dirtbikeexpress as it was the cheapest place by some margin and I've used them before. Will report back to see how accurate the comparison tool is.

My memory of standard DRZ bars is that they were too low to ride comfortably standing on the pegs, I think I used Renthal Medium Enduro to replace them, which are pretty much the same as a CR250 bend.

That's what I'm finding. I have some zeta risers that lift the bars and push them forward by about 20mm each way but have bought those jimmy button bars and will try them with and without the risers. I believe that I have the slack in the cables for both but I'll find out at the weekend.
