what handlebars are people running? i have about 25 inch i have ridden anywhere from like 30" to 20" and i kno bigger handlebars give you much better precision turning and handling and all that but it is it worth it cuz then u can hit ur bars on stuff much easier?

I cut mine down to 26" cause I'm a skinny guy, I found the stock 28" to wide, plus its easier for sneaking through the tight spaces.

I recenetly just switched to some new Deity bars, and I decided to leave them un-cut. I have a new passion for long bars, I always rode little wee small bars, and now I'm riding tanks. I definetly like the feel of the longer bars, and I have no plans to go back to the shorter ones anytime soon.

Chom,

I run 700mm, which is 27.5 in (off the top of my head, correct if its wrong) I guess its kinda in between the wide and narrow ones. For FR/whatever.

24" I think for freeride. I used to ride big bars but i like the small way better.
