    Recommend me some handlebars!

    As above - what do you use?

    Can you get them with different heights as standard?

    I have risers on mine but you can actually feel the flex they introduce in the steering.

    I put renthals on mine, I wanted to get down out of the wind so no risers, they just clear the tank.
    I also feel the more forward you are the less weight on your ass, therefore combatting the @T ironbutt issue!

    I have Renthal 'Enduro High' bars on mine and can recommend them.





    BTW, I'm not sure the risers have introduced any flex into the bars, but they may amplify the flex that's already there due to the rubber mountings through the yoke.

    I have the same renthals on my AT.
    Noticed a bit of flex, but im a big chap, and can exhert a lot of stress on the bars. Very light and not that expensive either.

    Well I did promise not to mention your impromptu off roading experiment until you were back on the forum and had a chance to defend yourself. But when you got back it seemed a bit like kicking a bloke whilst he was down, so I thought better of it.

    But since you're clearly feeling better and getting the bike sorted, perhaps the occasional ditch joke is in order?
