[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 164044, member: 1650"] And if you go to the protaper site you see the RC bar as 40 in rise and 77 in height, pretty much like what is on that motorcycle he is racing. A rise and height lower than the CR highs in fact. I bet he used something different for his freestyle shoots. I still like the ones that are more similar to race bars though. Anyway, from the photo you can see what he used on his race bike that time. [URL='http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/295/1387/Motorcycle-Article/Behind-Rick']www.motorcycle-usa.com/295/1387/Motorcycle-Article/Behind-Rick[/URL] This is a shot of Carmichael's mechanic with his bike. Front is plastered with 'Protaper'. Look at the bars some 5 years after the Honda shot. Doesn't look high no matter who is behind it.
