What height bar riser should I use?

[Matte Murder]

I am 6'4"(almost 6'5") and I have showchecked a 2012 Pro RMK 163. What size bar riser should I use? I was thinking 3.5". Do you guys have a brand preference too? Also, does anyone make an adjustable riser for the Pro that is durable and simple to adjust?
Thanks for the help,
Wade

6'2" stock...no bar riser.

I wouldn't get too carried away thinking you need to raise it up. I have Pro-Tapers on my 2010 IQ and at times they are almost too tall. These times are usually when you are in the trees or on a steep sidehill that you have to stop and start on, they want to tip you downhill too far. In one of the posts a while back, Chris Burandt was commenting about these bars being too high for him as well and I thought he must be joking, but after riding mine I can see his point. I'm 6'5" or so and I wouldn't want to go any higher than my setup is now.

I'm 6'-1" and love the stock ride height. I bought an Amp 2.5"(?) before I picked up my sled and after comparing it to my D8 with a few inches of aftermarket rise, I decided to ride it. It was the same height stock as my tall D8. Love it stock. You are a few inches taller than I am, so you may need a couple inches. The Amp is a sweet riser!

Thanks. I will try it stock and go from there.

I think Burandt's set up on the IQ's was to remove the 1" spacer and use
the stock ProTapers. Pro's do not have the spacer so I think he uses a RSI set up to get it down.

Frisco is your sled comparable to the 2012 Pro?

5'8", 1.5 riser is perfect for me.

How high can you raise your bars on a Pro RMK before you need to lengthen the throttle cable, brake line etc?

2011 pro, i think it is the same

 

[DOINTHEDOO]

3 inch is perfect.

6'6", I rode a friends pro and in the steep and deep tree'd riding I would not go any higher, maybe a lower bar height. I have a m-series and a few year back tried a 5.5" could work the sled to save my arse, so I cut it down a inch at a time until I was back to stock ride height and put in an adjustable just so I could raise it up to beat the little bit of trail, but when riding the backcountry it is all the way down.

Burandt is a little man. Pay no mind to his set up.

I have 4" RSI's and it might be a little to much. 2" would be just right for me at 6'4". Stock Cables are fine

Burandt runs our 5" 2014 Aluminum Handlebar. It lowers the Pro a couple of inches and is a bit straighter. Snowest forum members get 10% off on our website. PM for discount code.
