Default Renthal Carmichael Bend

Has anyone had experience with these bars. There is a pair hanging on the dealer's wall and they're looking pretty sweet right about now. All they need is some UFO hand guards to complete the package.

I had one of those Renthal signature bend bars. They're fine, but a little low, IMO. I replaced them with Renthal Raptor bars which are higher. Currently I'm using the stock Magura 1.125 inch bards stock on the KTM w/1 inch risers and like these alot as well.

I see.

Yeah, I was looking at higher bars but keep getting told that the control cables aren't long enough. I seem to remember some of you saying that you had to re-routeat least one of the cables?

Clutch cable is a little short but rerouting in front of the triple clamp worked good for me. DirtSurfer says it's still working well.
