I bent the heck out of the handlebars on my 2005 rancher es. It rolled about 6 times. Luckily I was able to get off before the first roll.

Should I take the bike in to get the handlebars replaced? Or just do it myself? Is there anything tricky about replacing the handlebars? It looks pretty simple to do. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated

Thanks.

 

No, it's super easy to do it yourself. And cheaper to. Once you take everything off the old ones you'll realize how simple it really is. Take care, Red

 

Anybody found aftermarket bars that have a bend that works on the Rancher???? The stock bars are over priced, weak, and heavy like a brick! Aftermarket is the way to go if you can find any............

Get yourself some nice new grips at the same time. The stock ones are pretty hard.
