Whats the most comfortable bend in aftermarket bars? I am looking to get some and am wondering what is a comfortable bend that would work good in the dunes.

if your getting fat bars with an adapter, the sport quad bend seems to be really comfortable

I love my Tag T2 CR high bars. CR double-high and any Flexx bend is good:D

Generally.. CR-Highs are the most comfortable for people taller than 5'-9", while CR-Lows are great for people in the < 5'-8" catagory.

I had renthal crdouble high bars on my old mostly stock 300ex. I am the same hight as you and at the time I had the 300ex about the same wieght, and those bars were perfect for me.

I have CR double high bend on my YFZ. They seem to be the perfect height for me , since I'm only 5'8". On the YFZ with stock bars and stock stem , I felt like i was leaning over too much and I would get a sore back . So since I couldnt afford a taller stem , the CR double highs solved the problem .

I have a stock length LSR stem, and I'm running the Pro Taper Pastrana FMX bars. They have a good feel to them. Although, when I had a stock stem, I used an adaptor kit and ran CR High bend. I'd say go to Pro Tapers website, and get the dimensions for the Pastrana FMX bars, and then take a look at their SE series bars, and compare dimensions. Get a set that is fairly close to the FMX bar dimensions. They're an inch taller and like an inch or 2 inches narrower than CR High bend. I think they also have less pullback. Very comfortable imo.

Im about 5'9". With the CR highs and 3.5" riser they are about 1.5 - 2" taller than stock. I do a lot of jumping and f/s and like them to be kinda high. My snowmachines are the same way.
