I was wondering how everyone else set their handle bar height.

I am 6 feet tall and when I stand on the pegs I need to lean forward quite a bit in order to reach the handle bars.  If I keep my leg straight then I am bent at the waist quite a bit.  Keeps my legs from getting tired but then my arms take a beating as I am essentially leaning on the bars.

If I bend my knees I can straighten my back and take the load off my arms.  Unfortunately my legs will give out on me after a few minutes of whoops.

I have been working out at the gym trying to build leg strength and endurance, which has helped some but I still have a long way to go and doubt I will make any significant improvements.

So now I am considering raising the bars.  I already have them twisted up as far as they will go but I need a couple more inches.

So what position does everyone else ride in while standing on the pegs?

Would I be better off getting risers to raise the bars I have or new bars with a higher rise?
