I'm looking for something similar - taller, much taller to make it easier to stand up longer in the rough stuff. So far I have located three tall bars. MSR carbon steel = 6.00" rise ($17) very low budget. I tried them on my warrior as an experiment and like them. MSR Dominator "atv sport model" = 7.63 rise($34). The Renthal ATV bars are 5.9" rise ($60). I'm going to try the MSR dominators on the Raptor.

I do not know the exact rise measurement on the stock bars- anybody ?


Hope this helps, Eric

I prefer the renthal Jimmy Buffett bar. Yes, it is low, but it is very wide and makes handling ruts a breeze.

I run Tag T-2 bars in the quad bend.... strong as hell and I like the bend... kind of expensive, though.

I bought a set of polished FLY - Banshee bars. They are just a little shorter in height then stock and the width was decreased but 5/8 of an inch. The front brake perch sits pretty close to the bend in the bar but they feel great. Good investment!

I recently got the MSR dominator "ATV sport" model and they are working quite well. They raise the grips about 2.5 inches and close to three if ya roll them forward a bit. They greatly improve the standing posture. They seem to be the tallest available without getting an extended stem. I paid $38.
