I want to get Tag Handlebars, but I'm not sure what to get. What do you guys recommend X5 or T2 and what's the difference or pro's and con's of each?

the x5 bars are the regular bars and the T2 bars are the "fatty bars" They are the pro taper style bars. Both very strong. I have to be getting new bars also since i sold my other ones. Im getting the T2 bars fo sho.

I found that it depends on how you like your bike to feel when sitting on it. If you are taller the T2 bars might make you feel like you lean forward to much. To fix this you should get a taller steering stem to compinsate for the lower bend bars. Steering stems are expensive and you might be better off getting the X5 bars that are a taller bend. If you want the T2 bars because of the added stregth they make an atv bend that I think looks a little weird but it does come up hugher than the T2 cr high rise bend that a lot of people are using.

I have TAG CR hi T2's. I also have a PRD +1 antivibe stem. I have ridden this yet, cause I am building the bike. But it seems to be a pretty nice setup.

I like the Tag CR Hi T2's that Nacs has, I am thinking of getting a set. But its a good idea to hold the bars before you get them.

Adric, You can get a really cheap($) universal mount at Royal, because I dont know if you wanna buy a new stem or not.

K2 - only advice I can offer is that all the motorcycle bends are MUCH shorter then the stockers, even with the big bar clamps and hi bends. I sat on a EX with CR hi's and the big bar clamp kit and it felt 2 inches lower then the stockers. I think I'm getting ready to go to a big bar setup and I'm going to go with at least a +2 aftermarket stem, maybe even a +3
