A guy that I was riding with this past weekend told me about the handlebars that he has on his quad. He was riding his wife's quad so I didn't see them. He said that they have bushings in the bars, (under the grips or near the grips). I guess they take alot of the jerking out of the bars. I didn't ask him where he got them and it looks like rmatv doesn't have anything like that. Has anybody heard or seen anything about these bars?

Apparently the wait was worthwhile, SWMBO and I were both 20, she could sign for herself, my Mom had to sign for me. Figure that one out! I still get teased about having to have my mommy give me permission to get married.

Or are you looking at a steering dampener. I would HIGHLY suggest a steering dampener. As a matter of fact, I think you have a newer Z than me, and I have one that the clamps don't fit on mine(it came off and '05 and I have different shocks that limit where I can install the clamps), if you are interested. I put one on my 450 and I have no idea why that wasn't my first mod. It will be on anything I ever buy in the future. HUGE improvement!

It's not so bad Rod, you just set the disk to "deep" and turn everything under. Little hard on flowers and veggies. Maybe that's why I never get asked to help "weed".

They aren't AntiVibe bars?

Good Afternoon PSAR!
So some are healing quickly and one is getting worse. Hope everyone gets better quick, being down is a bummer.
Happy Anniversary due to Hap and Val it sound like. Nice to see married couples that get along so well, rare thing these days it seems. Some folks we know just celebrated 64 years last week. They are both still active and she still drives. They were 14 and 15 when they got married and had their first of four children when she was 17.
How about the rest of you? How long have you been married? Linda and I celebrated 46 years last September. Love her more every day.
Have a great day.
Mike
