Default HandleBars

I am looking for a set of handlebars for my Big Bear, not that I need them my stock ones are straight, I just want a new set.

I dont race but the possibility is always there that I could roll it and
I really dont want to bend an 80.00 pair of bars.

How about buying 2 or 3 pair of $20.00 TAG t-10s, FLY, or MSR Carbon Steel bars then if you roll it and bend your bars you can just switch bars.

What do you think?

I went the more expensive route with Renthal FAT bars and they work great. Stronger and might be beter in the long run over buying $20 handlebars all the time. Who knows.

im all good now. i whould get 1 expencive pair because if you buy a few pair of boots your going to end up like 1 best and wearing them all the time...if i did not have mine on omg...my foot somehow ended up behind my heelgard and below the tire..i will never ride w/o boots or a chest protector...the cheat protector will save your collar bone because when you crash your helmet will press into your collarbone and break kit in no time at all...i whould suggest a pair of alpine star tech 6 or 8...10s are great if your have about $500 to spend.

I used to ride dirtbikes and still use my Tech 8's for when I ride my quad... My Tech 8's were about $325 new back in 2002 but they are a Quality boot and are still holding strong.

You can get Tech 8's for about 300 or so, I wouldn't get the Tech 10's unless you Race Sport ATV's or Dirtbikes...

My advice is get 1 pair of GOOD boots! You get what you pay for!
