    I'm not sure on the weight but I can assure you the difference is minimal. My feelings on the subject are that the choice is personal preference.I really like the vibration resitance of the pro-tapers without a crossbar.I choose renthal simply becaust they offer a bend that I feel suits me better than what pro-taper has to offer.

    Pro-taper is supposedly a stronger bar, but like I said get whatever bars you feel you will be most comforatable with.
    MODIFICATIONS: Rejetted, Airbox mods,Custom made Exhaust, Renthal,Uni air filter, Maxxis
    FUTURE MODS/MODS IN PROGRESS:
    47mm showa conversion, Works rear shock,motor build, rear disc,Pro Taper Tripple clamps, Scotts damper

    I'm glad someone brought up handlebars... My boy has got a 06 230F. Looking to get him new bars. By the looks of it, to me, to upgrade to an oversize bar. The triple clamp needs to be replaced? Or is there a way a oversize clamp kit can be used? Little help for a newbie.

    Protaper makes an oversize bar adaptor/clamp for the CRF 230. About $ 50.00.
