Hey guys, I was wondering if this set up is good for trail riding I would like some bars alittle straighter than the stock ones. Also is the hight a good thing for trails? And would I have to change my grips or anything else? I have a 08 outlaw 525irs. 99% trail riding.
Thanks in advance. T

taller bars help if you are tall or strand up for long times when riding or both.

I do stand most of the time I ride, easier on the back. FReEK are the bars pretty straight? oversized bars does that mean I need to order grips also?

Yeah its going to be straighter. The kit comes with an atv bend bar. Standard grips work as the only part thats big is the middle.

Go here for a few pics of the kit installed Alba kit (http://www.predatorowners.com/index.cfm?action=thread&catid=99&topid=436&thrid=49208)

I just got a set for my wife's outlaw. Super nice kit, came with the YZ high bend? I imagine that is what they are sending standard as I've read a few other guys got the same thing.
