Exclamation New Fiddy ?????

I just got my new fiddy over the weekend, and was looking to upgrade it. I'm 6 ft 2 and around 240. I have really long legs and was wondering who had the best deal as far as springs and handlebars, for tall people with more weight, looking to ride for stunts and a little offroad, not much jumping.
I'm looking at gear works springs,and looking for a bar kit with everything i need in it. But the main thing is for me to ride comfortable. So any do's and don'ts would be appreciated, I want to buy it right the first time. Oh and can someone tell me whats wrong with BBR handlebar kit, I hear a lot of people dont like em??? thnx

Ok i've done some checking, and have come down to pbr kit $200, and applied kit, below for $217, and i cant make up my mind, I'm even still debating on fast 50s kit $180.
I like everything about the applied except the bars, but thats the cheapest and easiest to replace. Anybody here had both applied and BBr???
I think i'm going to order something in the morning, i may have to flip a coin!!!

get either the sik 50's bar kit or the fast 50's bar kit because they come with billet throttles and not those cheap plastic ones that tear up your first wreck...and definitley get the gearworksmfg springs...great springs at the cheapest price

I went the Sik 50's route with the bars and the springs.
I got the bars for 190 and the springs for 70.

My bar kit came with a longer brake cable, it still uses the stock throttle cable and brake handle. the kill switch gets chucked in the trash with the old throttle. I use the key yo turn it off.

Fast 50's is pretty much the same as mine.

I never let any one ride my big bike, but a venue at road atlanta race track fell over and crushed my new gixxer 1000, so i decide to get a fiddy to stunt on and take to the track so i dont have to worry about my big bike. But i fell better about my buddy wrecking it cause i got slung off it yesterday. I LOVE THIS THING!!!!
