I dumped my banshee bumper. Saved some lbs, looks cool, and most important, when I load the shee in the truck, the front wheels hit first (no risk of going through the rear window!). Just for that last reason, I don't think I'll put a bumper on anymore. I'm first anyways...I would get hit from behind...not front

Keep it man, I think it looks cool.. You'll think its even cooler if you bend your frame and attempt to find another, something like that you'd have to fess up the cash and go to the yammy dealer and were talkin big bux... Doubtful that you will bend it, but if you did you'd be bummin.. I'd keep it..

brokemybanshee,
I thought about this (and it does scare me a little), but the trees are quite "far" from the trails, and I enjoy more than I thought MXing. But if you live in a tight trail and/or rocky...putting a heavy duty bumper should draw more attention...

True.. It would be a diffrent story with a banshee/blaster/warrior all have been made for 10+ years, its peanuts finding those parts, but a raptor frame? Its would be hard, and you'd probally end up going to the yammy dealer.. I dont even want to imagine how much that would cost... probally better off to get a lonestar or something.... probally cheaper? Anyways just a though... If you do all of your riding in the dunes, defintly ditch the bumper.....
