handlebars height and bend

[BryanMcc]

ordering some goodies while my bike is down...bike is a 2010 ec300... looking at Enduro engineering tall seat and some new bars, im 6ft2.. any taller guys want to chip in with thier setups and why the set up this way? currently looking at rox 2" riser/ protaper bars cr high bend, do you think this will be to high? I do a good mix of sitting and standing. Thanks!!!

I used to run the Rox risers on my 525. I got my gaser and rode with no bar riser and pastrana FMX high protapers, added the e EE thick riser and I am happy with this. 6'5" was told it si better to keep the riser out.

Even at 6'2 this will be a tall setup, esp for sitting.
I would get the bars first and the risers if needed.
Think about 1" risers first too.

I'm 6'2" but a knuckle dragger(short inseam, long torso & arms). I have gone to a tall seat, simply because it's more comfortable controling the bike, using my legs. I run a Protaper Contour CR Hi. It took much experimenting to figure out what I like, in terms of comfort. BTW I'm not a racer, just a weekend warrior.

GPR sub mount raised it a bunch

TrailTech bars. Tall and the least sweep I could find.....but these are just my preferences.
