Default Aftermarket Handlebars

Does anyone use any of the aftermarket bars out there. I have been checking into them, and am having a hard time finding a pair that uses the same size diameter so that all of my levers will fit. I am also having a hard time figuring out which bend the stock DS bar is. Appreciate the input.

I'm currently using TAG bars, but I'm waiting on a mount kit to run a set of Pro Tapers I aquired. The TAG bars fit all my levers, etc just fine. As far as the stock DS bend, I have no idea....mine came with the TAG bars.

I bought the Trailtech Clamp/Bar combo and love it, super light and very strong. They use the stock levers, etc

I have been considering the Trailtech setup. What bend did you go with on the bars and how do they compare to stock in terms of height and width? Got any pics?

Any atv bend will work. I like the 400ex bend myself. If you are going with aftermarket, get a bar riser. Alba action has a nice one.

The trailtech set up comes as a kit put together to be close to stock. They feel a little higher though. There is a front view in my pics

I run the pro tapers with the big bar clamp and riser mount. They are awsome, way strong, no vibrations, and they are a bit wider so it is easier to turn the beast.

I am using a trail tech bar riser with renthal fat bars in the cr high bend variety. They are about the same pull back as stock, but with the riser they are about one inch higher. Just so you know, all bars are either 7/8 inch or 1 1/8 inch in diameter at the mounts, and they all taper to the same diameter at the ends so your controls will fit all aftermarket bars.

I assume you are talking about the Factory 909 bars. I have a set on my quad and absolutely love them. IMO they are the best 7/8" bars you can buy. I have flipped, rolled, and crashed and they keep coming back for more.
