handlebar
 

which handle bar is recommended to give a minor rise and a comfortable bend without changing trottle or clutch cables? I don't like the original, presses to hard to the inside of the hand(thumb). Thanks

You can just put a small riser of max 30 mm below the bars. No need to replace them. Risers is available from cheap to very expensive. I've just bought some cheap ones off ebay. I just choose a seller with cheap postage to my part of the world :-)

The following is just an exampler: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Handle-bar...item5d306e4211

Just search for "30mm riser 22mm"

I know where you're coming from. It's the standard bar's sweep that is the problem - it's over generous and causes the pressure you describe, and turned out wrists to compensate. The angle gets worse the broader your shoulders are.

I'd take a look at some Renthal 722-01 Dakar "medium" bars, the sweep is about half of that on the stock bars. They're about 25-30mm higher than stock, so not too much, and are exactly the same width. You should be able to get away with the standard cables.

Renthal do a 613 Daker "high", which is popular, but they are 35mm wider, much higher and would require some "cable-fiddling".

If you want bars with hardly any sweep at all, then take a look at some 7/8" trials bars.

See if you can find an MX shop locally that carries Renthal bars in stock, get some in your hands and see how the different sweep dimensions feel.

Now that's what i call help, thanks!!!:HappyRoll_ANPIUI:

Or try one of the Magura X-Line bars. Very different than Renthal, but pricey. The EX worked for me with 2cm higher risers. Cables are fine. Help with vibes, too.
