Sry to tell yah bro,but what one person use's doesn't mean it will suit your needs. You have to use a bar thats comfy for you,and not Joe Blow from Cocoamo....

I run RM Highs, and they are pretty wide (wider than stock) and not that tall, well my one bro thinks there too wide to ride w/ and so on,and he runs CR Highs, so there is a vast variety of bars to choose from, but you just need to find what suits you....

IMO, you should go to where you normally ride and check out the different bars that other people have and ask if you can see how the fit you. All you would have to do is just sit on the quad and determine if that's what you want.

If you have a stock stem or stock size stem, then most people are going to tell you that a CR high bend is what they like. A lot of racers use a longer stem and CR low bend. I have Renthal's ATV Race bend and I like it a lot. It's somewhere in the middle, but definitely lower than stock bars.

Also, keep in mind that you probably would prefer aluminum bars. If you get the $20 steel bars, that have little to no flex, so they will get you fatigued quicker. They will also bend any time you roll. Spend a little more money on the aluminum bars and you'd be happy.

I don't know where it's at, but someone posted a thread a while back that has dimensions on all the different bends. It was very good info. Maybe someone can post a link to it. If someone does, I'll copy it over to the FAQ forum.
