csrmel Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 +2 is the shiznut. im 6'5 and i almost need a plus 3 or 4, but 2 is as big as they come. it literally cut 40% of the riding fatigue that i felt when standing up. the higher bars means you are less likely to fall foreward backward, or side to side becuase you can get more leverage over the bike. even smaller dudes who try my banshee LOVE the plus 2 stem. i have yet to find a single person who did not like my plus 2 stem after riding my bike.

89bansheemx Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 YEP i know what my next purchase will be +2 tall, +1 fwd stem from lonestar racing... Quote
peterlocal22 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 i have a 2 inch rox riser and im going with the +1 stem to get alittle higher. Quote

Going to do the same on the yfz and rap 700 soon. im in the same boat i dont care for the high bars either. although the way i did it is more expesive. i went w 2 inch risders, low bend bars and now iim buying a +1 stem. i could have saved money by buying the high bend bars instead of buying the low bend and +1 steering stem. but im happy with how it is and would not change it at this time.

EastCoast Banshee Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 I got +2 risers with low bend and it made all the difference. I still want to get a +2 anti vibe stem to get rid of some fatigue. Quote
