I used to run just cheap Fly, Answer, or stock bars until I realized that even the lighest crash will tweak them. I put the ProTaper clamp kit and Protaper Pastrana bend gold bars on my Banshee and I'll never run anything else again. They look sweet, feel good, and are strong. Obviously, any hard spill on a quad will bend your bars no matter what, but I really like these bars. They have a different feel if you are used to a standard quad bar because they are slightly lower and about 1.5 inches narrower. I race Supercross and I like them for the whoops cuz the low bend keeps you low and on the back of the bike.
