July 15, 201313 yr the fatbar and 7/8 bars feel almost the same and the 7/8 is narrower the fatbars are stronger and generally more preferred! john shirt of gasgas uk prefers 7/8s and thats the only gasser ive seen with them on!
July 15, 201313 yr Author I asked my local dealer and he offered me this one: http://www.gasgasmotos.cz/cart_gg/product_S3parts/HA-BUF-B.jpg It's S3 Buffalo High handlebar and looks very similar like Renthal Fatbar. Price is better and I don't have to long wait for it. Do you have some experience with this handlebar? Thanks, Petr
July 15, 201313 yr petr no i have not used this bar. i use renthal fat bars. the buffalo bars are narrower than renthals fat bar. s3 also make a champion bar which is pretty much the same as a renthal fat bar. it depends wether you want it wider or narrower they are all pretty similar height wise...
July 18, 201313 yr I am 6ft4 and have some S3 5inch riser bars, they feel great, really improved the feel of the bike for me!
July 18, 201313 yr Author I am 6ft4 and have some S3 5inch riser bars, they feel great, really improved the feel of the bike for me! Thank you bigman for reply! I ordered S3 Buffalo High handlebars with S3 Clamps and hope that it will be good : )
July 18, 201313 yr I had a master rider pipe up in a conversation, I laughed so hard, I have to share it here... He asked, "so, do you relocate all the door knobs in your house too?" that is my sentiments. raise the bars, changes how your weight is on the bike, can cause you weird handling. if you were 6ft 4 and above, I might understand, but under that, stock is probably best.
