If you are a big dood and use tall bars and off set clamps be carefull to keep you hands as close to the center line of the forks. Its easy to use forward offsets and roll your bars far forward. It may feel great in the garage but it will beat you up and tire you out quicker on the trail...

I have several rides on these.... WAY more comfortable, back dosent hurt, great steering response, probably 3x faster through whoops....

I cant think of a single negative from my perspective.

Big Jay likes them too..... he has a set twice as tall!

The "swinging" back and forth is supposed to change the steering behavior and use extra muscle force to get the same work done. But my experience is the effect is not HUGE but noticeable at different levels depending on rider...

Dood, I can tell when the engine is running, and when its not... Thats about it.

Fixed it for ya.

Not to mention land with the body to far forward and you may find yourself looking for a soft place to tuck and roll.

Yup, and all the while trying to avoid that spinning rubber saw blade!!

I need another set but went to the Rox site and couldent pull them up?

I run my bars high and far forward. No extra fatigue problems for me. And they help keep me from flying over the bars.

When racing, and standing, your head should be pretty far forward (around the front number plate area). With shorter bars and rotated back, I'm nowhere near as supported.

Call me Jay...

feel free to kick my ass for the resurrection of an old thread but , Bob, what kind of risers are those and where might one find them? i can already tell i need some improvements in that department, this thing feels "stubby", kinda like my elbows are in my ribs.

"Quad Bend" bars work too....

If you got the clams, http://www.fasstco.com/products/flexx.shtml get the 116mm "ATV" bars, they are about 1" taller then the bike bars...

do you use quad bars in conjunction with the risers or do you mean just use quad bars instead of the risers? those flexx bars are sic.. kinda mean to the pockets though. thanks guys!

Unless you are 6' 8"+ I would say either or would be plenty, unless you like this look...

These are the "Quad Bend, 12 degree sweep" Flexx bars...

Totally worth the money, as long as you dont crash and bend them...

We were just talking about that yesterday, they offer all the parts seperately and replace the set at half cost??

You take the tops of your bar clamps, flip them under the bars and put another pair on top. All you need is a set of 4 longer bolts (and of coarse an extra set of clamps, which most people have already)...

huh, ill look for a set of clamps so i can give that a try, do you happen to know how much longer and what type of bolt is needed?

Needs to be longer then the bolts its replacing by the height of the clamp...
