Need to get a new set of bars, anyone recommend a decent width and height(rise and height). I did not realise there were so many available. I am after something that is similar to the x-raptor original bars.
cheers

Your fairly limited if you got a V or an X coz of indicators below and horns above . I chopped half an inch off each side of my V (the leverage to turn is quick enough stock) so sneaking through traffic is not as scary though you gotta drill holes to match the switch blocks. The rise on the V is about an inch and a quarter with 32 degree angle and my bars are 27 inches in width. I assume the X is about the same except an extra inch on the width. Wheelies are easier the higher the rise
