I was wondering if it would benefit me to move my handlebars forward a few inches since im a tall person at 6'4 ? I just bought the ProTaper SE bars and since I always seem to nearly fly over the bike at Glamis 8) I was wondering if this would be recommended?? I nearly broke my forarm last month from this and would like better stability when going down steep hills.

Have you thought about a handlebar riser kit? Rockymountain sells one made by tusk thats adjustable and really helps taller riders get a good feel. Its only $20 and I personally use one and it works great.


Here's the link..........

Taraflx, Can you feel the bars flex a little more at the raiser point? Or is a real solid fit? I'm 6'5" and might need something also!!

They are solid. I jump medium size stuff like 20 foot doubles ect so i am not taking huge jumps on it but I have had this kit for a few months now and it has handled everything I have thrown at it and the bars havent slipped flexxed or anything.

I'm 6'4" also. I have the PRO-TAPER SE(mid bend) with the TUSK adjustable riser, and I rotate my bars forward about 2". It works great.

FWIW, just thought I'd mention that Tusk is made my RM. It's their own brand of accessories. That's what they told me when I got my nerfs.

I am 6'5" and I always move up the bars. Am in looking into a taller stem now.

6'5" (with boots on; 6'4" otherwise) and running with stock bars.
Works fine for me.

Shit! do we ride ATVs or start a basket Ball team? We have a lot of tall people riding! I was you gay would ride with me. Everyone I ride with is 5'8" and 185lbs.

Well I hate basketball! So I will stick with ATV since my football days are long gone!

do you guys also have a problem with your riding boots i have a size 14 and keep hiting the rear brake at all the wrong times :3question:

I'm 6'4'' with 12 shoe. I wanna change the stem but I'm afraid it'll feel forign to me, since I've been riding this way for about a year and a half. My back does hurt a little on long rides though. Especially Sand HWY.

Just some info on the reliability or shall i say stability of that riser that Rockeymountainatv sells. Well, I took a head to head collision this pass week with an a-hole on a dirtbike . It seems that everything else on my quad was either destroyed (bumper, tie rod, a-arm) or banged up except for my handlebars. The riser was strong enough to outlast the force of my 250 lb. body as it was first absorbing the impact of the crash- but of course ended when I flew over the handlebars .
I'd say you can feel certain that it is a quality product.

I'm 6'5" and converted my stem to a LSR anti vibe +7/8" with Renthal 7/8" bars the ATV RACE is the description. They where the tallest widest flatest bars I could buy and work really well for clearance and leg room. The only problem I have ever had on the raptor is my knees hitting the front fenders.

What the hell are they feeding you guys for you all to be that tall??? hee hee

 

[Chet]

im 6'6'' or 6'7'' and ride with the stock bars. opps.

 

[socalrappy700]

I think I win...6'8".....barefoot. I have stock and they seem to be ok, but I would like something a bit taller. I plan on looking into it once I get back to riding.

 

[NixRaptor350]

Ok...I'm a shrimp.

 

[socalrappy700]

Don't feel bad, my wife is 5'1" We define the odd couple.

 

[NixRaptor350]

I'm still like 5'9" or so...that is one big height difference!
