I have a 2011 GG TXT Pro 125 and was thinking of replacing the standard fat bars with the Jitsie bars.

I seem to be riding hunched over existing set up I have 22mm bar raisers but still suffer with lower back pain has anyone any experience on raising fat bars.

I'm 175cm tall and not sure whether to try the 5.5" or 6.0" bars?

Everyone has their preference.... but I'd stay with the 5.5 bars. Normally the higher bars(6" and up) are for the tall rider.

Are your bars set correctly? They should be set near vertical (looking at the angled rise (what the hell do you call it ???) from the side

Your problem may simply be the way you stand on the bike..... just try standing up straight then add a little bend to your knee then lean forward to hold the bars (there should be little to no pressure on your hands).
