In the mean-time, I have 35mm Havoc AL bars with 20mm rise... and I feel hunched on the flow trails and such...
Would getting bars with higher rise (like 35mm rise) make a positive difference? I especially feel alot of my weight forward on the chunky steeps.

How long is your stem? I run 50mm on the DHR, longer than on any of my bikes.

For sure.
I'm running 35mm rise and still also run a small spacer under the top crown and fork dropped a fair way down through the crowns to get the bar height high enough for steep stuff. You can use the fork height and spacers for cheap/free gains if you haven't already, after that a high-rise bar definitely helps (and/or stem riser spacers which some people use).

My combo right now

Rise: 30 degrees. No adjustments in the X axis

Rise: 20mm
Bend: 9° Backsweep, 5° Upsweep
I am 6' tall

I do have 9mm spacers under the DM stem ( a 5mm and a 4mm )

dont mind the 3M tape on the stanchions.. does not work. need something more tough. recommendations?

Not to mention the stanchions not being at an even height in the crowns. This is shocking. Shocking, I say!

that's probably why it's leaning over so much.

I shall be riding my unridable, obsolete, antique of a DHR tomorrow. I hope I survive the ridicule.
