Well I ordered a set of FLEX bars and the stock stem is to short. Im not sure if I want a +2 or +1 stem. I like the height of the stock bars. I thought a +2 would get that. I've looked at a lot of 450r's with +1, seems ok. Alot of guys are using a +1 stem with a GPR stabilizer which adds annother inch making the bars at +2 from stock stem height. I am going to use a stabilizer mounted down in the frame not on the top of the stem. Also im 6'0 tall. What do you guys think or what have you used?

I just bought a set of those Flexx bars and then added a +2" Jansen Racing stem and absolutely love it! I'm 6'2" and it's perfect for me. You might as well go +2 in case you decide to install a larger tank at some time. I'm going to eventually ad a IMS tank and my bars should clear it fine.
