    i went with renthals... there is a ton of different bends to choose from, I went with a yz bend or something I think, mainly i just didn't want something that was too tall. Im not sure what the rise of the stock Z bars was. I want to get new triple clamps in the future, at that point I might opt for the 1-1/8 bars, but for now I think the 7/8 renthals are my best bet. If your on a budget just grab a cheap pair of steel bars, or I think moose or someone make a cheaper pair of aluminum bars.

    A drink bar would work nicely.





    I'd go with the YZ bars like ZZ recommended.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.
