I am looking at getting new handlebars for the Scram. What do you guys have on yours and what do you think of them. And what do you think would be the best. Thanks again OhioScrambler[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I was once told by someone in the know, that the lowest bars are the best. Your upper shoulder muscles really get a workout with the stock "ape hangers", which are more for protecting the headlights than anything else. I've always used CR-Lo bend on my machines, but I've heard that Banshee bends are pretty good too. I'm putting on a pair of Renthal "McGrath bend" bars on mine in the near future. I'll let you know how they work.

I run Renthal "Banshee" bend. This topic comes up every other few months and if I remember the "Banshee" is the most popular.

I run the Renthal Quadracer bend, seem pretty darn comfortable to me and they do cut out some of the vibration[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I need to get my weight as far back as possible allot of the time & the CR low bends dont let you do that unless you have REALLY long arms so I went w/ the Renthal Banshee bends but positioned them straight back towards the rear instead of vertical.

I am a tall guy so I use renthal 400ex bends. They are the only ones that are high enough for me to grab when standing up. The renthals have been through a lot, I have rolled it three times since getting them and they haven't bent even the slightest. Renthals or Pro Tapers would be my suggestion.
