What are the thoughts on handle bar height for this bike.I have 5 inch rise , it feels to be a stooped riding position. I am 5ft 9inch. Pegs are pretty much standard position but nice & wide, what a difference that makes.

Hi, I'm 5'7" and have 5 and a half inch bars which feel ok to me, I wouldn't have thought you
need any higher but like a lot of things its what you feel comfortable with.

I use 6" bars with 70mm risers off a pit bike, all cables need to be made longer. But I am 6ft4 so need to make up for the extra few inches!
Fantic didn't make the bike for your average 6ft4" guy! hence why I have lifted mine, Renthal bars from the 80's (cow horns) also had more rise than 6".It all comes down to comfort on the bike really
