Default yfz bars too low......good replacements?

The bars on my yfz are a little low for my taste. Just wondering what are some good replacement bars to get a little more heighth. Any suggestions?

pm pudljumpr there is a cheap way to raise your bars.. you put a set of clamps on top of the toher or sutming..

By a new bar clamp. The clamp gets mounted where the stock bars get mounted. Will raise almost 3-4 inches. I like them somewhat lower. i sit towards the front of the bike and constantly lean foward and down into corners.

You can buy stock bar clamps, flip them half around, and get longer bolts. This will raise the bars 1". But I went ahead and bought Renthal ATV Race bend bars. 1.2" higher than stock, and also about .5-.75" less sweep, so you sit more forward on the machine...WOW, so much more comfortable!! Just remember, if you get any bars, stems or bar risers more than around 1.5", you are going to start needing longer cables on everything...the clutch cable and maybe brakes will be the shortest!

Thanks for the info. guys. I'll check into the Renthals. I was also looking at the Pro Taper Hi bend ATV bars. Anyone try those, or know the height diff. between the two?

Rox (speedfx.com) makes an adapter that allows you to raise it 1-2-3-4 or 5 inches. and allows you to angle the bars forward or back. i run with CR high bend TAG2 bars.
