I run Renthals. You might want to look into a riser and maybe an antivibe clap. I just installed a Houser plus one steering stem with antivibe clap and love it. I do stand up the whole time I ride, but I'm only 5'4. Thats why I didn't go with a plus 2 or higher.

My husband told me that a friend of his told him to buy a cheaper set of handle bars so if you wreck or roll the quad the bars break instead of other stuff. Is this true? Sounded kinda funny to me.

I have had the same bars on my quad for 6 years. I've crashed on 30 foot doubles, and roll the quad down 75 foot hill climbs. I'm still running the original plastic, throttle, levers, and switches. My bad I put a Magura hydro. clutch, so that lever is not stock.

I have been thinking of doing this too, but I know if you go to high you have to change the cables or you have other issues. It seems like it will be hard to decide what you want until you actually have them and ride with them.
