jse Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 What are the advantages ? I run a taller set of Hebo fatbars on my 02' Pro so I'm not hunched over the front end, and can get back farther on the rear fender, as with the standard 7/8th bars, but where they really help is on the slow, tight, uphill turns and steps where I would hit my chest on the crossbar pad every time. If I had the tall bars with a crossbar brace, the matter would be even worse than the standard low bars. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 It may be a style thing, or lack of, but I cant think of any time when i've hit me chest on the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I remember going up a relatively small rock face many years ago on an Ossa and my chest hit the kill button. Unfortunatly the kill button was the kind that locked on. So I rolled to a stop in the middle of the section. Learned a good lesson there.
