Bars for short rider

two stroke smoke

Hey guys, I'm 15 and I just moved up from my 85 to a 2004 Yamaha yz125. The bike came with 1 1/8 inch bars and i'm not sure what type, but there is an adapter on the bar mounts to fit the 1 1/8 bars that also acts as a bar riser. I've been looking at articles and stuff and i'm just completely lost on how to figure out what bars I need or want. I know I need 7/8 inch but I have no idea what the different names mean and what bend I need. Btw I'm 5' 1" 😂

I like to run short bars and run the Carmichael Pro-Taper. Have also run Stewart bars in the past.

You might be able to get 1-1/8" bar mounts off a newer YZ. That will open up your bar selection, and the bars you have might be fine with the right mount.
