It looks like the last thing I need to convert my SJ back to a pole ski is bars. What riser bars are you guys running? I checked out RRP and want to see what else you guys run.

its just another fad... like scuppers, front exhaust, internal fuel fills, tribal and fixed steering.
it would make you hip and now.

it gets the weight of the pole lower and makes over the bar tricks easier... not that doing over the bar tricks will be easy with a pole that goes up and down.

SFL thinks he is a long term positive fad-lol
Oh yeah-BTW-threadjack-positive feedback for Charlie!
ancake:
i have the rrp high rise an love them!!!! i dont smash my inner leg on them as much! keeps the pole low, you can adjust them for racing! move them forward for a small short track or back for enduro or just cruising around! an they look cool..
what i did was buy the bars an a adapter from blowsion the ones they use for the straight bars an just put it on a tbm plate..

so are the rrp bars fat bars? I just sold my fat bars and adapters, maybe I'll need to go by new ones and the mx store.

I still dont get them. They seem like they would help you keep your pole lower, but not force you to lower your body along with it (which is the important part from what I gather).
I've never tried them though, and I suck so I may be wrong.

i dont see much benefit from mounting them to a standard turnplate but when using the complete rrp system the bars are almost on top of the pivot which takes the swing out of the steering, i have always hated that about standups. im sure they would suck for hood tricks and stuff like that but i love them for waveriding and they make it much easyer for me to side start in deep water.

I did the complete RRP steering with 50mm bars. I love them, everything about the set up is great!
Yamaslut did some riser mtn bike bars that Are about the same.
Like butti said the complete set up moves you right over the pivot and makes the ski a lot of fun in the surf.

when looking at the turnplate from above the bars are mounted almost directly over the steering pivot.on stock or even short steering the barmounts trail the steering pivot
the only other steering i have seen as short as rrp is wdk.

Assuming that there is an "optimal" area to keep the pole while riding, wouldn't riser bars be more comfortable for a taller rider? (I'm 6'6)

i dont like them, riding them i notice i cant get my hand down as low as i normally do so that messes with my balance. something that can get used to i guess, but why?other than that, they felt exactly the same as stantard bars. the worst part is climbing up on the ski with them. they make it so akward reaching up to climb aboard. stupid.
will these bars make you a better rider?
no.
