Default bent grab bar

I bent my grab bar the other day practicing riding wheelies. I got into the power band and lost it. The stock one on my blaster held up better than raptor grab bars (probably because the blaster is 70 pounds lighter.) So anyway what is the strongest aftermarket grab bar availible?

thanks

Don't know about the raptor. I built my own for my 686. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I had a Jardine on my Warrior that wasn't too bad.

They're not meant to be wheelie bars, so even if you get the strongest one made it will still bend. If I were you, I'de leave the bent one on until you have mastered the wheelie or come to your senses. I have a DG and it seems to be pretty good. I also have my stock one if you want to PM me and make an offer.

The DG Grab Bars are really durable.

^^^I was surprised when I opened my DG grab bar and saw how much better it was over the stock grab bar. Even the front grab bar from DG is a good buy.

i hit my grab bar the other day doing donuts when the razr 2's(before i put the Sur Traks on), caught traction and dropped back. Never hurt anything on the bar. Didn't even scuff it(soft dirt).

I would rather buy grab bars than sub frames.
