Howdy,

Have a quick question.

I would like to change my bar to a Pro Taper (or similar) and roll it forward a bit.

I'm a bit of a tall bloke, 1m 85cm, and I seem to be having issues with the stock set up on my yfz450, even when I roll it forward. It just feels like I'm being forced to lean back rather than lean forward.

Can someone give me some recommendation on a good bar that will fit the yfz450 and that will have the ability to roll forward?

Jerry

You may want to check these out.........

I have had a pair and they raise the bars as well as move them forward.
+1" forward stems used to be a common mod on YFZ450's I believe the rox risers do just as good a job.

And ProTaper "Pastrana FMX" bars are a good high bend for quads.

Looks like I'll be going for Flexx bars. They seem to be the best ones.
