BBR vs Fast 50's bar set

I've bought like everything under the sun for my new fiddy in the first 3 weeks i've got it ( 12 o'clock bar, springs all around, joker pedal extesion, sum stuntin plastics, and a few more things.

The first thing i said i was going to get was a bar set well now i'm about to order, and help me out, the way i understand it is fast 50's is 8 inches above stock height and BBr set is 3 inches above stock height.

Do I have that right, or did i get mixed on heights????

i dont have either but i made a clamp for mine which uses bmx bars. very similar to bbr. i used a throttle off of a yz and a 20" bicycle brake lever. the whole deal cost be $25 and a lil time ofcourse. anyways... i love the way the bmx bars feel. im 6'2" so i need the room. i couldnt even ride my 50 stock. i did all that the first day i got it. bmx bars pimp hard.

no.. they ar probably both about 3-4 inces above stock and about 2 inches forward,, 8" you hear about with the 50's kit is the size of the bars.. they have a 8"rise(or total bar height) the BBR kit comes with similar sized bars..

The only thing about anything BBR that I dont like is the yellow anodizing. Yuck.

Fast 50 all the way. Go onto the reckless or core6 boards and everyone will agree Fast 50. We had about 5 xr-50 up in Laconia last week and the fast50 was by far the favorite setup.

I don't know about BBR, but I know Fast50's kit comes with a billet throttle. I think the billet throttle is a must. Thats why I got fast 50's.

When I first got my 50 the throttle tube was the first thing that broke when I wrecked.

I have a Fast50's on the bike that is on its way now and I also have a BBR kti that I had ordered when I thought I was going stock. I like the bling bling gold of the BBR. hehe. As far as the res of the setup, they're pretty much the same except the billet throttle on the fast50s. The only other difference I can think of the cross-bar on the BBR bars is like a triangular shape and the Fast50s is round. I guess in theory that would make the BBR bar stronger, but ****ed if i wanna crash hard enough to test it
