i bought a spare pair of stockers.. they are like 21.00
that way i dont have to buy clamps and all that other junk. just throw the spares in wherever so you can change em in the pits.

You can go from $15 - $200+ depending on the type of riding you do. I bought a couple pair of $15 steele bars when I was just learning how to ride my Raptor, but I found out that they couldn't take the preasure of my weight when landing jumps. If I was just trail riding, they would have been fine. If you want to go with fat bars, TAG makes a good bar/mount combo for about $190. That's what I'm using now and I like them a lot.

I ended up moving everything ( key and all the lights ) to the left fender. It looks really custom and it only took me about an hour. I ride Tag T2's, they are awesome, strong, and very comfortable but very expensive as well. You can also buy a clamp for fat bars w/ the key and lights integrated in to it. If you don't want to spend the money, that dumb plastic thing can be put back on as long as you keep the stock mounts and buy bars w/ a crossbar.

I really could care less about that plastic thing, just as long as I can put the key, and maybe move my water warning light thing somewhere, Maybe ill grab some of my blue LED's and make something cool for a warning light. Im going to look at handle bars in a few days, i really dont want to spend more than 120$ at the most.

I got tag x5 raptor bend bars. They bolt up without changing the clamps and they are just a little straighter than the stock bars, they feel alot better to me. I just put the platic that holds the key and lights back on under the cross bar.

i have the protaper combo, cost me $140 and the bars are very difficult to bend. I've bent 2 stems with the same bars and their still not tweaked.
