Just got back from pre-running parts of the San Felipe 250 (Baja) race course. The whoops were really deep and endless - this pretty much required standing up most of the time which was uncomfortable (hunched over) because of the height of the stock bars. Can anybody recommend specific aftermarket bars that are designed to be taller to make it easier to ride off the seat for longer periods ? 140 miles of whoops nearly killed my back !

Thanks, Eric

THE STOCK RAPTOR HANDLE BARS ARE AN ABORTION, I REPLACED MINE WITH FLY-AERO TAPERS (MADE BY EASTON), AND THEY RAISED MY GRIP HEIGHT 2".
the handle bars were $94.00 & the adaptors were $54.00.THEIR BULLET PROOF,IF YOU BENT THESE BARS CHANCES ARE YOUR HOLE MACHINE WOULD BE HATCHED.

Fisher- tag fat bars with adapter clamp will raise 1 to 1/2 inches. Moose has a clamp that is 1/2 inch taller than tag. I am looking to do the same to mine, because of rods and screws in my back. I would rather not go the 1 1/8 handlebar size though.
