(help) bars for my bike

[dan4011]

hey, i have a cr80 (96) i want to buy a new set of bars, alot of sites ive looked on just say cr (no other info)
will those bars (7/8) fit my bike? and also im a bigger rider (5, 11 lol) so when i try to stand up on the bike its uncomfortable for my arms (bars to short) so will i need to use high bars or will medium be good?
and anyone know of a good online store near the east coast that has a decent bar selection
thanks for your help

If you are 5' 11" and riding an 80 it will be hard to find bars that make the bike comfortable. You will prolly want to go with the highest ones you can get. MX SOUTH is a good east coast online store and should be able to set you up with any bar you choose :)

i went out and measured my bars, they are about 3.75'' tall, whicj im afraid is the hight of the high cr bars, i looked and saw that the high kx bars about a full inch taller, but im not sure if they will fit, i dont see why they wouldnt if the dementions are about the same and the bars are 7/8''
anyone have an opinion if these will work
thanks

Don't worry about the name on the bars.... it just means thats the bend that model uses.
Any 7/8 bar will fit, regardless of what it's called. Don't get "oversized" bars, they are fatter and will not mount on your stock bar clamp.
