Handlebars....

Looking to replace the Hi Point bars I have had on my MC 5 since the bike was a couple of weeks old.  I'm looking for a bar that has at least 8" of straight on them, about 4.5" tall, and no more than 5.5" of sweep.  Any suggestions?

Hi James - you may already be familiar with the Renthal Mini High that i use on my Pentons.  Specs are in link below, i did not do math.  I'm too lazy to remove about an inch from each end, which would make some of the tight stuff a little easier to navigate with the NE XC scene. I just scored a pair for my Berkie rebuild - about $70, which actually has a pretty nice set of those TALL OEM bars, if interested.

I hope our paths can cross in the future.

Yea if you got the swept back bar mounts the Mini Highs are the way to go because they have little sweep to offset the bar mount sweep.  If not I use the vintage high bar with bar risers because they have more of the proper sweep for where the bars mount on the 35mm forked bikes. But its all personal preference.
