Hi everyone i need to change my handlebars as i had a big off today and bent them! I was thinking of getting some higher bend bars as i allways seem to be bent over handlebars and it does not help my back! What are all you rev3 riders using? Im about 6foot tall and allways seem to have back ache after riding!

You may be surprised at how much changing the bar position, forward or backward, along with moving the levers will change your comfort with the bike. I have been riding Revs since there have been Revs. I can ride mine all day fine but get on another Rev, not set up like mine, and have horrible arm pump in minutes. I find this true getting on any other bike. If I take the time to set them up for me I can do just fine with them. If I just get on and ride any bike the chances are I wont get along well for very long.

If you can get comfortable with the bars without raising them I would go that route. I fell the bikes handle better with factory rise bars. I have ridden several bikes where the owner raised the bar position and they never work as good as with stock rise bars. The bikes start to fell top heavy in my opinion. Lampkin is a tall guy and if you look at Lampkin bars they rise less than stock. He apparently sees no advantage to raising bar height.
