Rental Fatbars RC High

I'm 6'4" and find most standard bike setups too low and cramped. With my old KTM I had a tall seat and bar risers/raisers, essentially blocks of aluminium mounted under the bar mounts with longer bolts into the top triple clamp. The problem with bar risers is they change the weighting over the front wheel and therefore the feel of the bike.

For my new FX450, I added PHDS bar mounts without the spacers & decided to look for handlebars with a different rising height to allow for that extra height without changing the weighting over the front wheel.

After many hours searching and reading forums I settled on the Renthal Fatbar RC High link

These are the closest length wise to KTM standard bars for added leverage, have a flat feel, but significantly increased height/rise as you can see below.
