I bought a used 2003 CRF450 and the previous owner mentioned that it had Renthal Carmichael bend bars. I am very uncomfortable in the "attack" or standing position on the bike and think the bars may be part of the problem. I am almost 6'2". Can anyone give advice on this - would the Renthal Button bend bars be a better choice. Are there other issues/tips to help dial in riders compartment? Thanks for the help.

Well ricky is around 5' 8" i believe, so maybe a higher bend would be better?

What sort of riding are you doing? I do a lot of trail riding and I prefer to stand a lot..being 6'4" I went with the Moose Bars with the Berlson bend. I also use a set of tall clamps to make it easier for me to stand...

Same here, no motocross - only trails. Thanks for the advice - i will check those out.

No problem...also if you find clamps that allow you to move the bars forward...For big guy like myself, it's just more comfortable. I also use a GPR which is nice, a lot less fatigue in the arms when I use it.

Ok sounds like i'm on the right track in my thinking then. Thanks for the help!
