I've been doing a bit of research on the 'raising the bar' scene for the R.

To my knowledge, my options are:
Clubman bars for a CR (about 1")
Convertabars (good thread on this somewhere)
LSL High Bar kit (possibly 4" rise?)

I'm a bit fuzzy on what the max heights and options are with the convertabars and LSL's, or if there are other options out there.

Anyone with experience on any of these care to chime in? I'd like to try and make a decision sometime in the next few weeks.

Or if anyone has a set they're looking to get rid of, I'm open to suggestion : D

Oh nice.
Thanks for the link.
That might be useful for anyone else doing their research in the future.

Personally, I'm thinking I'm probably going to need (or at least REALLY prefer) at least a 3" rise or so.

I'm 6'6 and keep running into crampy angry back syndrome after awhile.

Thanks for any other resources that don't necessarily fit that criteria though.
Definitely useful for the community and anyone that searches this topic in the future.

You could also use Apex Clipons.

I use these with the EBR upper triple and they are awesome...so much adjustability. I did have to clearance the upper triple but an hour or so with the grinder and a file and it is perfect.

Oh wow, that's interesting, I've never seen those...

Any pics handy?

Doesn't look like too much work either : D

Nevermind, did some research...
Now those are real contenders.

Might need longer lines for a 3 or 4" rise.
Hrmm.

Yeah I used the longer lines from the CR.
