any one have MX bars ?

will someone who has MX bars please give an opinion on them vs bmx bars. I dont like the looks of bmx bars on a 50, but I am stunting mine so i will get what works best for tricks and looks. BTW any one else using sony dig camera? how do I convert the pics to jpeg. the sony software doesn't seem to support it.

the bmx bars are soo much better... believe me from first hand experience.. especially if you are kinda tall it gives you more room and its easier to wheelie with the bmx bars i ahev the full fast fiftys kit and its great!

I got the BBR kit new for 180.00 and it was the best deal I found. It's comes with everything you need and I wouldn't change a thing.

I got the BBR kit on mine and really like it. I'm tall so I need the room of the taller bars.

I got the Red Baron Bars....I like them..the only complaint I have is they dont send you a longer throttle cable...so I had to reroute it and it looks kinda ghetto

Thanks everyone I went with the Red Baron Blk clamp with crome Tag minibars, they look very trick I think. I an only 5'5 so I dont think that it will be a problem, but could you all tell me what other parts I need to finish my new bar kit ? longer cables ? which ones, do I have to order online, or can I just go to a motorcycle shop and perches? what about grips and a kill switch? will any grips work ? or do I need fiffty sized grips? anything else? thanks
