Default Grab bar

Hey guys i have a raptor 350 and i need a new grab bar. when i stick my foot in the grab bar to do a wheelie its tuff to fit and sometimes it gets stuck. The bakk of my quad comes to a point so its hard to put my foot in. I need a bigger one. Dg looks good. I just needa know. Thanks..

you NEVER watn your foot all the way in there... for 1 if your other foot falls off your gonan break your foot cuz it's in there so far... 2ndly if you can do wheelies you can do them sitdown.... no need to standup....

when i first started wheelies, i liked to put one foot on the bar and one on the brakes, helped me find my balance point.

lol yea, that would suck to get your foot stuck, if you fell backwards and then the quad fell back down, youd break your ankle/foot. somthign not on my list of things to do
