Default yamaha bumpers!!

so to all the yamaha raptor riders out there, who makes your favorite bumper for the raptor??? i keep looking for a bumper but cant decide on what bumper i want. I found one that alba makes and it has flames on the sides but still not 100% that that is the coolest one out there. so what one do you like the most??

Different people will always have different ideas about what looks good but I am partial to the GYT-R front grab bar here is their site:

yeah thats a nice bumper but looking for something that is more sporty. That bumper from GYT-R is a cool bumper and looks like it would protect some of the a-arms and shocks from any branches.

Stay away from PRM. IMO

They look awesome and are built well...however they have a design flaw that i would avoid. There is a V cut support that sits on top of the mount that attaches to the quad. if you have an accident. it's normal for the bolts to shear off and for the bumper to come in towards the frame. the V bracket tends to crease the frame badly. this has happened to me and i have seen this on another quad as well.

it's difficult to explain...i have pics to better illustrate what exactly i'm talking about. Their skid plates are awesome and i have yet had a problem with any of the many i have ordered.

it's a shame because i really think there bumpers look trick.

Check out the polished aluminum bumper from Armadillo , it looks fantastic on the Raptor and have gotten alot of complements on it. You can pick it up from Rocky Mountain.

I have the polished armadillo and I like it. The new AC that that bends slightly back I would buy for the next one. The GYTR i think is too big and looks goofy

yep,, Firefly and turtles.. Armadillo is a good one.. There may be better or nicer nowadays but I do like mine. I kissed a tree with the first one I had. The tree looked better than the bumper. After looking at every thing out there I ended up with another Armadillo. Rocky Mtn still has the best price I think..
