Do the RSI Burandt bars and the 7" bars have the same bend as the stock pro taper bars? If so would just cutting down the stock bars be the same or are there other differences between them?

The RSI's are angled up a little and the Pro tapers are flat
FLY Racing also makes a few options. The newest is the nxt lvl bar, built with input from Dan Adams. I don't have any details about it. Personally I use their 'mini bar'. It's an oversized carbon fiber wrapped aero tapered bar. Much stronger than any ⅞ bar. It is 3 inches shorter than the stock bar and has a bit more of a rearward and upward angle on the ends of the bar. It does require an oversize mounting bracket.
Felt my pro-tapers were a bit wide and wanted to move the brake, so I put on bars from a Iqr.
Now I can slide my brake towards the steering post and tilt it down, so I can reach it with my finger when my hand is on the narrowest position, and my arm is stretching upwards of the bars.
Had a little trouble on the pro tapers using the brake in some positions and because of how the brake master cylinder is shaped, you cant tilt it low. It catches the bar with the brake line.
