You have to find what specs you want before you can choose bars with any real thought behind it.
I started on slam bars, and whenever I ride anything with different specs it just feels uncomfortable
Now I have kink wolf bars, which are identical except .5 inches taller
But thinking about just going back to my og slams since they feel a little too big right now

Get 8 or 7.75 inch rise, 8 felt big at first but alot better than my 7.2 fly bars, look for 25-27 width.

I was being sarcastic. People kept posting bigger bars when he clearly wants nothing to do with them. I am not a fan of perfect 10s.
yea i think the biggest ill go is 8"... thats pretty much the biggest ive ever gone for like a week and thats because they came on my bike

Fit flow street bars appear to be fit high bars also known as northwest bars
8x28 1.5 upsweep And 4(?) backsweep
You could always get the same bars again, S&M grand slams would be pretty similar just taller
Kink makes their bars in similar specs as does mutiny
I hear good things About liquor bikes, but think morphine is mainly race

Animal Hyrone?
Shadow Vultus?
Animal Bobs?
Considering your bars were about 5 years old, they were almost definitely under 8". These three bars are about 7.5" to 8" tall with at least 3 degrees upsweep (for your wrists). You should be able to find something you like. If not, S&M makes some pretty small bars still. Check them out.
