Title: Handlebars and Rox Risers
Post by: Fe Man on May 05, 2012, 11:26:07 PM
So, at 6'1", the 2inch Rox Risers I installed with my stock bars on my 2006 Tiger make riding while standing a bit more bearable but I'm still unhappy with handlebar height. Most of the moto taper handlebars have no where near enough rise to work as a replacement. I am somewhat repluctant to order the 3.5 inch risers as I don't see the additional 1.5 inches making enough difference.

What have you taller riders done about your Girlies?

I'm 6'1" and swapped over to ProTaper SE XR50 bars with Mustang pegs.  High enough that I can stand upright for extended periods comfortably.  Any higher and it would feel silly while sitting (think ape hangers)
