Yep, just try to see what feels natural to you before you buy them. Then get an idea of how much pullback and rise you need and the width.

I run Pro Taper SE's on all my bikes, but any good quality aftermarket bar is good.

Here's a link for ya. They have sizing charts for all their bars

Got it

Thanks for the advice! I went with the Pro Taper SEs. I love them and they feel better when I sit closer to the bars. However, I am having a hell of a time getting the left grip to stay put. I've now tried two different grip glues, a Scott one and a Renthal one.

use more glue. also put 2 or 3 wraps of safety wire on. and don't touch it for atleast 12 hours. give the the glue time to dry.

I was about to post the same question. I'm totally new also.
So what bars did you get, did all the mirrors, grips ect just swap over? Ive heard of the cables not being long enough is that true? Any pics of the new bars.

Sorry for all the questions, I lowsided after finding out the SF is not that good on grass LOL

I went with the Pro Taper SE YZ High Bend. I wanted something that would allow me to sit further up in the seat. Everything was plug and play for me. Really simple actually!

The throttle cable was a little tight and caused the engine to rev a little, but after pushing the throttle tube all the way to the end of the bar, there isn't a problem. The plastic around the throttle cable is a little tight, but it doesn't rev anymore when I turn lock to lock.
