    Changing handlebars

    Hey Guys,

    I want to change my handlebars up but wanting to know if anyone can inform me on how to do this to my bike as Im riding with my hands up in the air pretty much.
    Is there something I need to buy apart from the handlebars or is there something I need to grind of?

    Im a newbie and just seeking some help.

    Cheers

    You need to buy a set of shorter Risers.
    They connect the bars to the top triple tee.

    Gold fades fast. Looks tacky after sun exposure. So unless you are parking inside I'd go for peened silver or black.

    Fair call, may just got with a standard black or factory colour.
    from the pic attached of the other bike, is that just normal pro taper handle bars or would it be something else.
    Will post pics up of handle bars once done.
    Cheers

    Look like standard low and wide mx bars. Lots of choices. If same diameter as your original bars why not just swap out then risers for now? Then you can ride it a bit and decide do you need to a different bend? Flatter to go lower steeper to be able to pull back more etc
