I had looked at those but the graphics kill it for me and i think they are the contour line anyways. The ones i looked at still said kx hi and stuff like that next to them. I think risers would be too much so im trying to find some tall ones. Thanks for the help and sorry for the hi-jack kevin.

I was wondering because i am looking for some higher bars and yours looked nice and high. I like those risers who makes them. Bike looks bad ass man.
Thank's dude.
The risers on the steely are the Rox like the wookie has,I was having a hard time riding the steely in this deep,wooped out sugar sand.I felt like i was getting ready to get tossed over the bars.When I rode my gen 2 i was alot more comfortable and could stand longer but never thought about the handle bar height because I thought the risers were for riders well over 6ft tall.I took a while to get used to the risers sitting down(and still am).
I'm hoping I don't need the risers on the 450 because they look a little strange.also I can ride for twice as long now because i'm not so bent over.

Same here, Hondapotomus has quad bars with raised bar mount from my buddy at D1H, whole set up works cool. Cr5 running rox risers also. Sorry no pics.

Thanks,I rode it for about an hour today in between the rain showers.
This bike makes me feel like a better rider than I really am.It's not to shabby as a woods bike either.I'm riding again tomorrow and I'll report back.
