Here's my CR Hi's, they're the perfect bend for me.

CR high bends are gonna be a couple inches lower than stock. Similar width end to end. A lot less pullback/sweep than stock, so more straight across....this is a lot more comfortable standing up. It's a very popular bend, but it's only downfall on an ATV is it's overall height. So you tend to see people running them with an extended steering stem or handlebar risers to make up the difference.

Personally I can't stand bars that are lower than stock and i'm not a tall guy. They are ok when sitting down, but when you stand up you're all hunched over the front end in an awkward riding position.

I say try them out and see how you like them. If you want some more height out of it, check out Rox pivoting risers or for a lot less cash, the Tusk bar risers for 7/8" bars: http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/productDetail.do;jsessionid=FF05CCBC7184D143B8FDE4 915B909A1C.westring1?webCatId=12&webTypeId=70&navTitle=Handlebars-Control&navType=type&prodFamilyId=25849&stockId=212333&ref=gmc

i ran my Pro Taper SE cr high bends on the stock stem for a couple years, but finally bought a +1 stem and it is much more comfortable to me. i'm about 5'9". i kind of wish i went with a +2 stem.

Cr high bend with about 3/4" rise with fat bar adapters. I am 6'1" and they feel perfect, very comfortable. I had an ATC350x before this with cr high bend bars and they felt great as well.
