January 23, 201214 yr 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.
January 23, 201214 yr 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.
January 23, 201214 yr when i first got mine i felt the same.. ride it though all those guys 30 years ago were nt wrong
January 23, 201214 yr 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
January 24, 201214 yr Author Thanks guys i feel much better as it is now I am used to it, but you can get used to all kinds of stuff good & bad.
