What Bars?

Hi gang. what after market handle bars have people fitted? I am looking the rise the bars to get my ass off the seat when trail riding ( bars are too low to do this at the moment.)
Bar risers are from �30-�50 so i thought that a complete bar change might be a better way to go. I dont want to mess about with longer cables and stuff, so any ideas for a straight swap would be good.

Enduro high Renthals- http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/handle...rise-bars.html Prefix code 613.
Had to trim 15mm off each end but they fitted with stock cables.
If you go for some 'fat bar' risers, I've got a pair of KTM bend Renthal fat bars you can have cheap.

How much higher are the Renthals than stock Tom? I need to sort out something higher for our little jaunt in July.

Alright Dave. The 613 enduro high bend are probably about twice is high as stock. They could do with being slightly higher for me with my gibbon arms, but that would mean longer cables etc.

Hi Tom, thanks for the link. Are the ones shown in the link higher than stock? All bars look the same to me I want to go as high as you can with standard cables with simple straight on fittment.

Hey Mark no probs, yes they are higher than stock. These pics don't really show it too well as I have the bar pad on, but you should get the idea-

Stock-



Renthals-



You will need to take some width off them, like I said, I found 10-15mm each side was ok. Also, the OE bar end weights will NOT fit.
