woody Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Handlebar height is down to personal preference but 5.5" is a good compromise for most riders' heights. If you're over 6' maybe 6" would be better. Don't cut any off the end, there is no need and it will make the steering a bit more twitchy/nervous.
