    I have CR mid bars on my quad. They are real low and wide. I just like the way they feel. I have a lot of control, and it puts me in a comfortable position. Just go with what you like. If you don't like the way they feel, try another set of bars. You can kind of get a look at my bars from this pic.

    I have Pro-Taper CR high's on a 1" extended Stem...I love the way they feel.

    Go to a race and look at some combo's. If you ask politely, you might could sit on the quad and get a feel for what you like.

    Good Luck

    Are you having feeling to "cramped up" when turning sharply?

    My friend has those bars on his R and I HATE them! They are very uncomfortable and my other friend agrees. I feel they aren't swept back enough, like the ends of the bars are both at angles, rather than creating a perpendicular angle to the rider's arms.

    Tag's are really strong bars, but in my eyes that isn't always a good thing. $30 bars are a bit cheaper than a new steering stem. I would rather have the weak link in a cheaper part than a more expensive one. It has happened to me before. Rolled my quad and ended up with a bent steering stem and perfectly straight bars. They are sweet bars though.
