Which is the best kind to get, and I race so i want low bend, but freestyle on my free time, will I still be able to do tricks with a low bend bar, or will it be hard? If anyone could give me pics of either would be awsome!
:)

Ok thanks guys, but I know low bend is better for racing, is it much harder to do tricks with them?

I just got some Tag X-2(fat bar) with a PRD Anti-Vibe. The bar is a cr hi. It love the bend on it, the steering stem is also a +1. I am 6'3" so I like tall bars and stem. That way I dont have to bend over a lot.

I wish that was my R :p I bought the stem and bars off at Adam my buddy. That R is amazing though, Elka and Gibson. I bought quite a bit off him. Bars, Stem, Exhaust, carb, lever. My R is getting there.:)

Can't go wrong with them. I'm about 5'9" or so and they are just right for me. I ride pretty aggressively, and I haven't had any problems reaching the bars.. and I dont get and sense of bending my back to hold on.

I haven't ridden with Cr-High's so I can't compare the two, but I really like how the Tag's are nice and straight. Don't feel cramped up like I do on 330ex, or banshee bar bends..

I have some more pics you want them

I find Cr hi's more comfortable, but I am tall so... Decide if you like your bars high or low? A lot of people like the travis pastrana bend too. I would consider both.

If this helps any to see the bend in the bars...?

Ignore the chitty looking condition, it was just after pulling everything apart for some down time..and much cleaner now

The bars are pretty straight across, but still very comfortable.
