Hi,
My 2020 SKS 850 got too tall and too narrow of a handlebar for my liking. It got the 7" tall protaper, and i was thinking about getting the CFR's Boondocker 2.0.How do they compare?
And what other brands are out there? And what setup is good for the Polaris flat steeringpost mount to get it to the right hight (Raiser, adapters etc.)?

I really like the fly 2” riser and surly sunrise bars. (Mtn bike bars)9140DA14-203E-4E2C-B47F-F6B9A61171CA.jpeg0FC00EAA-F7C1-4098-8A64-109905AE6BBD.jpegD802E444-5F2B-43A5-8B57-6B92B4A31936.jpeg

Add spacers to the handlebar hooks to tighten in place.

Cromoly steel bars do not steal the heat so hands are toasty.

Total rise 5.25” very comparable to the “low” bars.

I cut them to stock width because I like the width but as bought were 2” wider than stock.

The Polaris low bars are 5” which is pretty much the same as the CFR Chris Brown bars, the Dan Adams bars and the Chris Burandt RSI bars (I have them all) which
are about 1/2” shorter aside from a minor difference in the pullback between each of them.

The boondocker is a 2” rise and then will require a pivot adapter and riser for 1-1/8” bars which just increases cost overall to end up with about a 5” height bar due to the mounting.

Depending on your height I would opt for one of the protaper style low 5” bars and it would make for an easy swap. Unless you want the “look” of the riser/fat bar combo.
