Gregster 39 x 17 is bang on, same as 44:16 on a 20".
A lot of proper cruiser bars are about 6 inch high and about 27 - 27.5 inches wide. Cruiser slams are nice, as are Fly Joey Bradford cruiser bars. There's a few cruiser bars around about 25.5" (too narrow) and also have too much back-sweep.

If you're doing any gating/jumping/manualling and hard riding I'd suggest not using aloominum bars based on my past experience (snapped CW cruisers bars on the gate). Unless NS aloominum bars are a heck of a lot stronger?

Spacers underneath and a top-loading stem would give you more height.

Greg, I would immediately email Chris Moeller directly and tell him that his 5.75 race cruiser bars are the wrong size, demand a 6.5 set be made tomorrow and sent for free to compensate you for your inconvenience and rising stress levels as a result of him not already producing them.


The bars that came on the Fit CR24 had a 6"+ rise if I remember correctly  :daumenhoch:

try Diesel on here Greg, he has a 2011 OM Flyer and I think he swapped the bars out on it or Gish has some 6"x27" GT ones here
