My mother-in-law knocked my bike over and bent my handle bars. I am looking to buy a new set of handle bars, and am trying my hardest to avoid going to the dealership to buy them. The question I have is am I limited to the hight of handle bars I use on my bike? I would like to go with a low set. As long as they are 7/8th inch should they fit and work fine?

The S3T and Blast bars are the same and the M2 bars are an 1 1/2-2 inches lower. Just make sure the center area is wide enough so you can clamp them down. I think at least 5 1/4 inches would work. I really don't know how low you wish to go. Good luck.

Thanks for the assistance Buell_bert. I will contact the seller and ask the measurement of the bars.
