	I just use stock bend. Pro Taper has good bars. I use Sunline or Tag but Pro Tapers are good. Not a huge fan of Renthals.

	Im running pro taper SE cr high bend now. I like the higher bend but I would rather have the contour bars. I just didnt want to buy new clamps too. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	One is high and the other is low haha. I'm about 6'3" and have Renthal fat bars (unsure of the bend) and I find them too low even with the 3/4" rise from the adapters. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Its all personal preference. If you are really tall you would want a higher bend and if you are shorter you might need lower ones. Im not that tall but I still prefer a high bend. Another thing you might want to look into are fat bars. They dont have a crossbar and can give you an even higher rise. With those you need different adaptors though, which is even more money.

	Yea it is personal preference. On big bikes I cant use tall bars but on 85's and 100's I always did. Fat bars are nice, thats what I use. My fat bars actually have the cross bar also. http://sixsixone.com/Catalog_TagMetals.a...bfa2fcf19a I believe those are the ones I have had. Haven't bent them yet. Also have Sunline mounts that have worked great with them. I like the look of bars with crossbar so thats why I like that bar.
