Oh, good. The TAG CR Double Hi's are what I used on the KDX but here the height isn't necessary. .....ok, the TAG Cr Hi's are 10mm narrower than the Double Hi's - good. Thanks. ....ah...Pro Taper CR High is wider than the TAG ones and you had no problems. Good! 
width height pullback
Pro Taper CR Hi 813 62 95
TAG T2 CR Hi 795 62 95
TAG T2 CR Dbl Hi 805 62 115
TAG T2 YZ 803 57 92

I have tag T2 SX hi bend, iirc they were only a few mm narrower than stock bars, the other bends were much narrower.

The stock bars must be quite wide - I must remember to measure mine - I need to check out the mounts, anyway.
I've got this spreadsheet with all the specs/bends (TAG, Pro Taper, Renthal, Magura) that I put together when I was selecting bars for my R100GS. (I needed high ones.)
hey, I also got a yella one!

I measured mine when I went looking for some higher ones - the standard is 830 mm - the same as a set of Renthal Dakar ones!
My bars are now a good two inches taller - makes a world of difference!

Any problems with cables and switchgear? Don't like the bars on mine-I think they look and feel cheap (one of the only componants on the bike that does).

If the stock bars are 830mm [!] you won't have any problems with cables - because any bars you buy are not going to be as wide. Pro Taper, Renthal, TAG ... they range from 775mm for the 'woods' bars to 808...813, and the widest are the KTM bends 818 and 820.
hmh! I didn't notice that the bars were so wide - they felt fine.
