    I'm 6'5" and I *think* from standing over the bike a bunch that I need 3" risers to put this thing where I'd feel open enough standing.

    I plan on a 2" higher seat too at some point so that will take up some of the slack while sitting.

    What height risers have you guys tried without needing to put new extended cables on?

    It seems the Rox 2" risers will work with stock cables no?

    Curious what others have tried without needing new cables.

    I also prefer bars with very little pullback, almost drag bars. I noticed from Renthal and other sites, a lot of the high bars seem to have a fair amount of pullback to them too. Seems to be sort of counterintuitive.

    I'm definitely a n00b, so if I'm making odd assumptions, let me know.

    I've got my eye on the 2" anti-vibe Rox Risers right now, pretty sure they work, not entirely sold that 2" is enough.

    I've ordered some pro-taper SE ATV High bars.

    Will post back with the results. I figure I'll start there and see how much more rise I may or may not need. I'm betting another inch or so and 2-3" on the seat will get it squared away.

    *** Heh

    These bikes take fat bars heh. So I'm exchanging for Rox 2" risers instead. I didn't like the severe pullback on the ATV bars really anyway. I like bars with almost no pullback.
