Well it finally happened. Rolled my quad pretty good after attempting to waterski my baja through a 50 foot water puddle. Not too much damage other than the flag and a bent handlebar. Question for everyone; Should I replace the handlebar with a stock one, or look at other alternatives such as Renthal or another brand?

Thanks for your help.

I have tag x-5 handlebars. They're awsome!!! Remember you have to get a handlebar riser if you get aftermarket bars. I didn't I just used some spacers and washers.

Call ALBA Action. They have the Renthal bars and the billet riser and it works really well.

i had a pretty good roll over in dumont during presidents weekend, i have pro tapers and a stock steering stem. well the pro tapers work so well that it only bent the steering stem. i dont know if spending $300 for a new chromoly steering stem or $140 for pro tapers and universal mounts is worth looking into?
