Default shockwears or handlebars

im looking to buy either shockwear covers or some aftermarket handlebars for my yfz. I race motocross so i was thinking maybe the handlebars would be a better. my stock handlebars are fine but i know if i get aftermarket ones they'll be stronger and probably more comfortable. Which one should i get?

if it dont make it go faster, or handle better, move it to the bottom of the list. nothing worse than your pretty quad getting beat cause you skimped on the performance for looks!! in other words get the bars

The YFZ comes with the handlebars too low for most people over 5'8", so if you are over that getting a bar with a little higher rise will probably make it more comfortable for you. I recommend the TAG T2 fat bars. You can get them with a special clamp that adapts them to your stock steering stem, and raised it about 1.5". The fat bars are stronger and more forgiving than the regular bars with a cross brace.
