I have 2 Trailblazers, a 2001, and a 2003. Neither one has ever been wrecked, my wife rides the 2001 now, and I ride the 2003. My question is about the handlebars, the ones on the 2003 appear to be bending,(Ok, they are bending, cracking the paint and all!), and I don't understand why? The bars on the 2001 still look straight. Is this common? What is a good replacement bar? I'm thinking ones with a crossbar for strength, any thoughts? How about all the different bend combinations, anyone try a different flavor? Does anyone know the specs on stock bars? I know what I get from measuring them, assuming I measure correctly.
Width- 32"
Rise--- 3.25"
Pullback- 4.0"
Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance, Curt

 

Look at these. handlebars

 

Hey tblazer, have you changed the bars on your quad? I'm reading so many bend styles, makes me wonder if I measured correctly.

Ya i put on MSR that i got from a friend, and they fit great. I took of the cross bar off and painted them yellow to match my quad. The bend is just mainly what feel you're looking for. As long as the width is close, considering the bar clamps don't close nearly all the way stockwise, and there are nurlings going across the middle of the handlebars it should fit.
