Sure, its all relative. At 5'9", a submount's height increase is huge in feel. Less so 6'+. I raised my bars with shims just enough to get the tool on the PFP adjusters with the Flexxbars.
Pivot pegs seem to make leaning foward over the bars a lot more natural, without being hunched over as you say. |

the first prototype that I made [much lower profile], was used in conjunction with the Scott's top clamp/riser setup [all I had on hand at the time] had the bars so much higher that I was cramped when standing and just plain weird when sitting. I experienced the weird arm stuff that you were speaking of so badly that I had to pull out of the HS after one lap to keep from killing myself. It did provide crucial information as to what I need to do and thus the final product was achieved. I am using my mount w/ a KTM stock bar clamp [currently 7/8, the 1-1/8 I have is same height] w/ Pro Taper Yamaha Mini bars. This combo achieves a height difference of about 13mm above stock without a mount and gives the option of #3 or #4 bar positions just like the Scott's did on my old KTM. I found the stock position to be too low and close in for my liking when sitting or standing in rough terrain. The slightly more forward #3 position and added height [from the sub mount] really made my preferred riding positions feel very neutral and natural. The purpose of this was not to start a debate, that is why I kept the question/poll to a very simple Yes/No. I know that a lot of people like the bling but quite honestly, I have never found a nice bling top clamp [keeping std geometry] that actually improved my ability. The damper on the other hand I feel has.

Disclaimer
Guys/Gals .... I am not trying to start an argument or ruffle any feathers of personal choice.
I simply thought I could help my fellow riders, by offering a less costly [much cheaper than the other examples given so far] alternative for a part that I found to be highly useful and fill what I thought to be a void in the marketplace. If there was enough interest to justify having some made, I would go ahead and offer them up in the new products section and follow all of the proper site rules pertaining to it. Heck, I am just a retired auto mechanic that had an idea and wanted to act on it.

I don't think any feather's are being ruffled. We all agree it's personal choice and preference and no one's setup is better than the next guys.
It's just a topic on the forum and I think a good one and we all just chime in on what are preferences are and it turns into a discussion, no one is right it's just talking about what each other likes. All is good and the product your talking about might be exactly what someone needs..

I just wanted to preemptively make it clear! I enjoy input, but I have seen stuff like this get waaay out of hand on some other boards in the past. Personal preference with dirtbikers is similar to politics! LOL

Of course there is no problem, its just fit, like bar choice.
There is a difference in the frames from the pre '12 to '12+. Cockpit size is bigger for sure. I run the bars farther foward on the '07 than the '12 for a similar feel. I just like a low, flat bar. 5'9" but long arms so maybe thats it. I have 10 deg enduro low Flexxbars, very nice. More sweep or height and I start to have wrist/arm issues. |
