Just looking at what size id need (+1 ???). Im 5"9" tall. Im looking into an LSR stem because I resently ate sh*t. Gravel drive-way (in the country) with HUGE chunks of side-walk sticking out are bad for you. Ill post a few pics...

The bend. Kinda hard to see...but you can see its bent. Bars look alright.

im 5'8".i got a +1 stem for mine with protaper contour bars.i just gotta roll my bars back towards me a few degrees and it will be perfect.

but something like this is kinda hard to give suggestions for.its kinda like jetting.every quad is different and so are we.what is comfortable for me may be seriously uncomfortable for you.have any friends wih different bars and stems?could always try thiers out and see what works for you.

but heres a picture of my bars and stem

I dont have any friends that ride around here....My set up right now has me hunched over a bit, which is ok when im hitting corners, but when i stand it doesnt appeal to me, say when Im running up on a jump...Im thinking plus 2...

I did the same thing bro. Bent mine a little more though. I rolled it over on its side in the middle of 3rd gear, threw me off the side and I met a tree. Hurt like hell and pissed blood the whole day, but shiit happens!!

If I was you, I would go with the +2 as well.
