Hello, I am wanting to buy renthals for my 99 400 scrambler. I was just wondering what kind I should get. And they do not have bars for Polaris'. What bike should I order them for to get a lower bar(the ones on it are to high)? And if anyone has them what one's do they have and do they like them? Thank you.

A few guys I know with Polaris' and I use Renthal "Banshee" bars. I know a few people who use CR-low aslo.

 

I put the Renthal 400EX bend bars on my Scrambler along with a pair of medium hardnes diamond grips. What an improvement over stock. They look great, fit great and best of all feel great.

 

Here's a photo of my scrambler w/ the Banshee bend Renthals. The CR low bends are too short so many have to add a spacer. I havn't tried the CR high bends. The Banshee bends are long enough that I can roate them down & back to the rear as much as possible since I have to get over the rear allot for jumping, whoops etc. You dont want the short bends to limit how far back you can sit if your doing any MX riding. Jack Schultz also uses the Banshee bends on his super bad sport.

Nice looking bike. I really like the handlebars too. I have one question for you though. How do you relocate you shifter to the posistion that it is in? And how does it work there? Thanks for telling me about your pics. Nice looken bike.

I was out in the garage yesterday and found the tag for my Renthals, and they are a TRX 250 R bend, not a 400 EX... Getting old is a pain...
Hey Jim, is the shifter just below the pipe on theright side? Also, where did you get the front bumper? Have you weighed your quad after stripping the floorboards and other parts off?

 

Renthal makes several types, but the "Renthal Aluminum" Banshee (1997) bend works well on most Polaris bikes. A lot depends how your riding style is. I found the Renthals to be a little wider, lower and more confortable for my arm length (35" sleeve). The only reason we used these is because they are the only ones I knew that would fit the clamp for sure way back then. I'm sure there are now lots of others that will work, all a matter of personal preferences.

I went to the Honda dealer today and have the same need to change to Renthals. What about the Scramblers' speedometer? I don't think it would fit??? Custom job comming....more work!

 

Thanks for the compliment. The bumper is the new DG bumper. I cut 1/2 to 1lb off of it w/ all the additional holes/slots & cut off the DG logo. I wanted the wide bumper to protect the rad because I took all of its shroud off also. The red shifter is under the pipe & it's very easy to push if forward to go in reverse or pull it back if you want to go forward. I dont know where I can take it to weigh the complete bike. I just weighed each group of things I removed so thats how I know I took off 55lbs. I'll add some more pics now that I removed the PVT intake & radiator resivor which I cut & installed it on the rear where the stock battery was. I used flex alumn tubing like on the HPD full race bike for the intake & routed it up under the fully enclosed nose piece w/ the hose end bent down. No water will get in unless submerged. The quad really looks empty now w/o the big white intake & rad resivor.

You can weigh a quad by using a bathroom scale on a hard, level surface. Place wood blocks the same thickness as the scale under 3 of the 4 tires, place the scale under each wheel in turn and add all of the weights together to get a total weight.
If you just use the scale under each wheel, the weights won't be quite as accurate.
