I bought some Cr 250 hi bend bars and they hit the plastic so I cannot turn all of the way. I need to know what is the best bend that clears the plastic and sits the lowest. Thanks

Renthal Banshee bend clears the plastic, in fact the grooves in the plastic are a perfect fit. Almost like they expected us to trash the stock bar. I don't know if it's low enough for you though.

I run Rental 400ex bend on mine. It is a comfortable bend while sitting or standing.

I also had the Honda 250R quad bend. I didn't like it on the Raptor. It put added pressure on my wrists when landing. It is much higher too but I am 6'6" so that was okay with me but you might not like it much.

Hope this helps. Be nice if you could try them out first.

My renthal Jimmy Buffett (sp?) bars are very wide and fairly low. They barely touch the tank. A Moose 3/4" riser kit solves that.

I went with the cr250 low bend fat bars. Had to install the universal clamp on top of the steering stem. They sit a hair lower than stock and they work out great.

Have a set of banshee bend bars that are in the bag because they sit too high. Anyone want them???? Let me know... $60

I bought the Renthals with a Banshee bend. They work great, much easier on the arms when riding. Not as much pullback as the stock bar. Keeps the front end down easier on hill climbs.
