50 stunt is good too.

figured i would throw that out there..... since ryan might be a lil bias about which to use.

i hope i dont hurt anyones feeling now so..... BBR is crap!!! that **** breaks way too easy. so to answer ur question. i would buy a 50stunt from www.50stunt.com great customer service and ryan will take take of you. he rides too, so he doesnt sell junk he makes sure it works for wat we do.
2brothers is wat i am running now and have had for the last 3 years with lots of bad crashes and held up.
the next guy that posts may have a different opinion, and thats fine with me. this is just my

Re: best big bar kit?

well my BBR bars are like 2-3 years old and is still not bent,rusted,scratched or broken, and it depends on how you treat it my friend had his BBR bars since he bought it for his bike back in 2001 and still looks brand new, the only thing i can say bad about BBR is that they ten to over price on certain things. But there bars have served me well so far, and RIDEITSTUNTIT i was just wondering how you broke yours since you said it is crap and **** breaks easily?

What are you talking about? Neither Hetzel or I have had any problems with our BBR kits. You broke your brake perch just installing your 2 bros kit and then you broke it again in your rib breaking crash.

PS- I think I am gonna buy a set of fiddy stunt bars since they are such a tempting price on sale right now.
