Handlebars- opinions

[ryanh250ex]

Ok, so since I'm in the midst of totally revamping my 250, i figure i'll spring for some different handlebars. At 5'11 and 160 lbs, I'm not an ideal fit on the 250.

My biggest problem is that I have to lean forward some when i'm standing. I feel like this doesn't put my body (i.e my weight) where it should be, for example getting ready for a jump.

Basically what i'm looking for is something that will be very close to the stock bend, just taller. I guess a straighter bend could work if i angled it so that the throttle/brake levers were in similiar spots. just need something taller.

I dont particularly care about strength, I've managed to keep my stock bars unmangled.

Suggestions?

i am actually a pro taper fan because of the looks and price. is price a factor? if not, maybe look into a 400ex bend with some rox risers to gain another couple of inches. stock 400ex bars are very close to stock 250 bars. my dad has renthals with i think a cr double high bend and they're also very nice. they're about the same height as stock but with much less of a sweep.

lol, i love my taper's one reason, looks, feel, and strength( there have been countless arguments that u do not want too strong of handlebar's because it will bend your stem, but i do not allways want to keep buying bars) And no i do not have riser's but ryan said he might get riser's, so i said you might have to buy extended lines to compensate(sp) for the extra height
