Has anybodied tried any handle bars on the vforce that they liked. If so what kind and what bend are they.

 

I have Renthal 'ATV-racer' bend on mine, really made the V alot smoother.

And man was it nice to get rid of those blister causing stock grips!

 

Ill look in to them. I know what you mean by the blister causing grips. Did everything go back on the bars ok?

 

It was all pretty tight, I had to drill for the ***'y pins so they don't twist. If I remember correctly you have to put the shifter side on first because the cables aren't long enough to stretch. Something like that anyway, anyone else maybe help out on this.

 

i got the trail tech x bars w/billet logo clamp,pretty sweet.

 

hey chop,

i also got the trail tech x bars with the clamp and speedo
mine seem a little difficult to mount up.
the choke is not right now, i had to take the cable out to make a quick fix so i could ride, i am going to spend some more time on getting it right.
i also think i am going to have to play with the throtle now, when i turn hard to the left it revs up.
everything on the left side was way to cramped and i could not get it all ligned up the best, i am going to have to play with it some more soon.

if anyone has experience with the same problems and has any advice, i would like to hear from you.

thanks, crashdog

 

I also have the TrailTech X bars and Billet Clamp, it looks awesome! I rode all last weekend and really like the bend. The clamp brings the bars up about 1.5 inches, and the mid-height that i have end up being just a bit higher then stock. They are also slightly more forward with a flatter sweep. I found them to be very comfortable and easier to stand. They don't have quite as much mounting room as the stock bars for the grip shift and rear brake lever. I also mounted PowerMadd Handguards which take up even more room. The Rear Brake lever ended up being mountted at the downward bend of the bars. I thought I would bend the lever to put it back in position. Good Idea until i snapped the lever off. I took the whole brake lever, parking brake, and cable off. I did not miss it at all last weekend, just used the foot brake I also run Pro Grip ATV/Jet Ski Grips which are nice and soft.
The stock bars are soft, I bent them both ways twice, once during a 40 mph roll over (ouch), once with my chest as I had a power wheelie gone bad. You can get the Trail tech stuff right off their website cheaper then some of the mail order companies.

 

I forgot to mention, I didn't want to drill the holes in the bars for the shifter and Throttle tabs. i ground them down and wrapped the bars with grip tape underneath them. they are more solid now then when new.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Stock 400ex Renthals will fit all the factory stuff with plenty of room and a much nicer bend. Send Sincityduner a message to make sure I got the correct bars listed.
