It all depends on the rider.what feels better to you..most of the time shorter riders like low bars & taller riders like taller bars...

Pretty much you pay what you get for. I wouldnt use Cheap bars but thats me. I like the feel of renthals and pro-tapers. I had a set of AFAM bars and I hated them.

i will stick with the msr's dominator series handlebars...not cuz they are cheap but to try something different cuz i had renthals on and i biffed pretty bad on a double cuz i needed those smaller tires on the back for more acceleration so i bent my renthals to **** so i can try something new for cheap

thanks for da help

I just got a set of protapers thanks to muff. and they rock! im 6'0 and the bend seems perfect. I got the Cr Low with the universal mounts that raise it 3/4". They feel alot wider im sure once i get used to them ill never switch back.
