Right on man, I'm the same height, so i think I will do the 6 riser, because I ride too far to be uncomfortable. What bar do you have ?

Stock grips aren't hard to take off. The left one will need a lot of persuasion. I used a hair dryer to heat it up and pulled it off with a lot of might.

thanks, to reinstall do you have to use anything such as glue of some sort or is it already on the grips. I already have my bar but was just waiting for new grips since i didnt know if i would be able to reuse the stock ones. And i also didnt know how long the bike would be out of commission. And also would i need new lines or be able to use the ones already on there?
