Re: What Handlebars Does everyone run?
i think it's more personel preference... however... DON'T GET HIGH RISE BARS... they make pretty much everything a tad more difficult...
as far as bened.. just get what you think would suit you the best... i would say something with a bend that is similar to the stock bend..

I've had pro tapers and they're pretty good. Right now I just have stock bars. As far as bends go, I prefer the RM since they don't have a whole lot of bend. I hear the FMF twin wall bars are good too.

Re: What Handlebars Does everyone run?
i run bent ones...
they work real well... cuz if you crash, you just bend them back to almost factory, and u can usually get away with it 5 or 6 times before they snap in 2 (or 3!) and you have ta jimmie rig them together with a screwdriver and duct tape to get it back home!
j/k
but, if you plan on tossing it, i would stick with in-expensive bars... it doesent hurt (your wallet!) as much when you do bend them...

Re: What Handlebars Does everyone run?
yup i run the cheap ones. perfect if all you are going to do is stunt...absolutely no reason for anything else.
now if you are doing any riding where speed and corners are involved, that's a different story.

Re: What Handlebars Does everyone run?
man, i would never run bent bars, that sounds like a death wish.
i WOULD NEVER say u could get away with bending them 5 or 6 times
bend a f'n coat hanger 5 or 6 times and that ***** will break.
PS))))) if u buy renthal or pro tapers like i said earlier in this post, you can dump it a **** ton of times before they ever bend once don't buy cheap ****. if u got the money get the t2's
