I've always run my Husky handlebars in the low (no spacer) aft (closest to the tank) position. Since I acquired a MotoSportz steering damper, I had to move the bars to what amounts to the 'high' position. Since I had them off, I thought what the heck, I'll try the forward position. Haven't had a chance to ride it yet to try it out. Is there any consensus on handlebar mounting position? Do you run yours high or low, forward or back?
I run mine high and very far forward, with a pretty straight bend in the bar. I have it setup so it is more comfortable for standing than sitting as I like to stand up as much as I can.
Back and low for me on the 250. Used to run high and forward on the 450 to fit the underbar Scotts. I like back and low much better, I'm only 5'7".
At 5ft. 5 in., I usually run bars low and as close to me as I can get them, unless they are on my KDX220. Then I had to get them further away from me.
I used to ride mine low and back...started riding faster, more aggressively and needed to stand. Since then my bars have migrated up and forward!
mine r wanting to go up and forward, but i didn get any spacers, are they sposed to be in the bag with the extra hardware? i'll see if tool and die will make me some
Careful running those tall spacers with long bolts. I have a buddy who did this and snapped the bolt right off in a crash.
Mine are regular size length and I bent the crap out of one on a crash in August. On the plus side, nothing else was damaged!
