in my opinion the stock m7 bars are the worst ever. i could never keep them from pushing forward, or pulling back. not to mention the angles they put your wrists at when you are leaning way over the side of your sled. i ended up going to a set of dirtbike bars (much shorter and narrower) and a set of 8" pivoting risers. this puts the center of my hand grips at 40" above the footwells with no cable length issues. that being said, i pivot everything pretty far forward cuz i like to stand as far forward as possible. if you are one of those weirdos that likes to have your bars pointing straight back at you, at the same angle as the steering post, and your hand grips 2ft apart, you wont be able to go as high.
