7/8 bars, what kind Im tall

Get bars like freestyle people do! I don't know which though...

I put a set of ProTaper Pastrana FMX fatty bars on my bike. I had to buy an adaptor kit to step to the oversized 1 1/8" bars, but well worth it. The Pastrana bars have a 4 3/4" rise, as well the adaptor kid added at least another inch, maybe in and a half. I am 6'2" and found this setup was a huge improvement. Have a look here at the specs and you can compare the other bar measurements.

There are so much bends and all...How can you actually pick what kind of bars you are comfortable with?

If you look at the middle of the bar, there is a model number etched on it. You can go to the renthal website for the specs, and that will make it easier to pick a set that is taller. You probably have model #759-02 which is 71mm tall with a rise of 50. If you look on the website, you can estimate the bend that you need.

I'm 6-9 and picked up some Deegan FMX bars made my 909 (same thing as Pro-Taper). The Deegans are 4.9 tall, while Pastrana's are 4.75. I needed every bit. Also have adapters which add 3/4 inch. My cables really are about at the limits, but there were no modifications to them.

Combined with a 1 inch taller rise in the seat and this bike ROCKS.. I hate riding everything else and none of my friends can kickstart mine :) (doesn't help having 250psi compression)

I should also note that I physically couldn't stand up on the pegs while riding before. Was just way too bent over. At least now I can stand, but it's uncomfortable. I don't care though, I wanna ride.

P.S. Contact 909 Direct for the bars. I think they are being discontinued at DennisKirk/Rocky Mtn., but they should have new ones still direct.
