If you KNOW you want 36" bars, how do you not know how tall you want em? Just sell your bike and get a scooter IMO if your goinjg to be running a non-bmx setup anyway.

now what every you like man for bars, you dont want to go too high for you so just go with an 8.5" or 9" rise, great to see more people experimenting and making their own stuff
