Did you already roll the new rappy?
It is hard to get handlebars bat strait. You can try slipping a peace of pipe over the side that is bent (Over the hand grip) And try bending them back. If you dont want to spend that much money. Look on ebay there is some Fly handle bars on there for 19.99 i have a set of them there good bars.

i looked at those fly bars, will it fit the raptor 350 with that cross bar thing. the stock one doesn't have one. i don't know how to explain it better than that.

sorry to bring up this old topic, hadn't been on for a while
how sturdy are the fly bars compared to the stock ones.

Rocky Mountain ATV has aluminum bars made by Tusk for like $24.00. I got a set and the only thing of note is that they flex a bit. I actually prefer that. Also, the crossbar did not interfere with the key switch.
Good luck.
