There's less than a 3/8 inch difference in the two your looking at. Either one is going to feel different when you mount them, and you'll be used to them after he first ride. close your eye's and pick.

Yeah that's the chart I've been using. I'm pretty positive I'm going with the Renthal bars, I'm still trying to decide between the RC and the RC high...

Well there's a 3/5" difference between the RC and the RC high... IDK. I'm leaning towards the "high" because the regular RC is only .15 of an inch higher than stock plus the 3/4s of an inch adapter... that's not even a whole inch in rise. But the RC high would be 3/4s an inch higher plus the 3/4s inch rise of the adapter. That's just an inch and a half. which doesn't sound too extreme. I think I shall consult with Wise Ol' Dad when I get off work tonight.

Sorry if it seems like I"m hashing this out... but I know he went through this same thing, and he ended up not going tall enough. He has bars, a riser, and the adapter, and he still thinks he should have bought taller bars for his DRZ. I don't wanna drop $70 and be unsatisfied.
