Chad Hargis has the Renthal medium rise bars. I'm looking to either go Renthal or pro taper ala Typeone's rig.

I have been using the Avon Azaro and will be spooning on it's replacement, the Storm.

I have the Polly Heaters.

I've got the Renthal mediums and the Symtec grip heaters.

I'm currenlty running Michelin Pilot Powers since I've been all street and track lately. They have been great, but I will be running Pirelli Scorpion Syncs once they burn-up (which shouldn't take long) since I've got a new track machine and that puts the Uly back on Road/Trail work.

I also am one of the few who didn't think the D616's were all that bad.

Symtec grip heaters and Avon Azaros here also.

I'm another one of the few who didn't mind the D616s.

I have the Pilot Roads a good 12k mile set of tires and I too found no issues with the D616 unless your corner carving in MO or NC and then I really heated them up and I had rubber all over my rear undertail. It looked like I had been doing burn outs all day. The rubber got super soft and I could indent them with my fingers and leave perm marks on the tire.

I run the CityX bars. No heat grips yet.

Kimpex grip heaters (undergrip) $26. They work great! Getting good mileage out of my Pilot roads. I'll be putting another pair later in the spring. I'm happy with the stock bars for 90% of my riding.
