Also I called Renthal and they said the factory replacement series for the Raptor is a couple of month's off so I need some new bar's. Any help greatly appreciated.

I have the 400EX bend. The Raptor and 400EX have very similar geometry. Much more similar than the Banshee.

I have the Banshee bend. They just hit the tank, but very little you won't even notice while riding. Good bar, but i would go for the TAG T2s. They look way cooler than the Renthals and i think they are much stronger. The only draw back is the price, but then again if you can buy a Rappy, you most likely can afford the TAGs. Trust me and spend the extra $$s. Mt 2 cents !

I have the 400 EX bent also. Like everyone else said, it matches stock and doesn't hit the gas tank. The only difference is now you have a cross bar that makes it a little more difficult to get to the key.

I had Banshee Bend Renthal in my Raptor but switch to ProTaper High Bend. The Renthal bars worked great without problems of the tank you mentined. I switched to Pro Taper because of the bend, Pro Taper is more in the attack position than the Renthals and I can ride more aggressively without the bars touching me in tight turns.
