What handle bar kit to get?

Opinions on the best handle bar kit upgrade to get, and where to get it. Was looking at the kits here on stuntlife, but cant seem, to login for the discount prices. Any here that would be the best to get. I'm 5'10" if that helps.

I cant stand the baby handles on my newly purchased fiddy.

:twelve

I personally like the J. McGrath bars. I'll putting those one once it gets nicer outside
if you are having problems with the stuntlife store, why don't you check out www.fast50s.com ???

You need to register for the discount. It's completely seperate from the messageboard registration you already have! I would go w/ the McGrath's also. They come in two different rises I do believe. I'd get the shorter ones.

the fast 50 bars are off the hook. Real comfy, perfect height, look great. get ahold of shuggs, he can hook you up.

i have the fast 50s triple tree clamp and the throttle. my buddies fast 50 bars are way to wide for my liking. with the extra width they are easier to bend too. I have harp slim bmx bars and they are perfect height and width and they are strong as hell

Thumbs up Fast50s

Fast50s setup is bulletproof and cheaper than most of the kits out there. Just polished all my stuff out last weekend. Looks like chrome$$$

No matter what bars you get, if they are too wide....get a sawsall or a pipe cutter and chop em'! That's what I've always done w/ my bmx bars.
