I will be replacing the stock handlebars and bumper on my Blaster due to a recent accident. Can anybody recommend the best handlebars for a Blaster, that don't interfere with the key switch but are more flexible than stock. Also, on the bumper subject I see lots of pictures of different bumpers on quads. Is there a better bumper for the Blaster than stock and why is it better? Does it have a small skid plate like the stock one? Any help or suggestions would be welcomed.

Renthal Bars are really good. Blaster, Warrior, and Banshee bars are the same. A bumper i really like is the AC mudscreen Bumper.

I think you'd like the Renthals; they're quite strong & the flexability they have will help to prevent arm pump and general fatigue during hard riding. Best of all, they will fit your stock clamps, unlike Pro Tapers which require their own clamps at close to $100. I too run an AC bumper and it's been on for 2 yrs with no problem, however if you're into bashing trees or other objects the PRM looks like a killer bumper..just another brand to confuse you .

Blasters have different handle bars than a Banshee.

I like the look of the Armadillo bumpers from Rocky Mountain ATV. Anybody have any experience with them. I know that the gas/six pack rack was reviewed on blastercentral.com.

Banshee, Blaster and Warrior bars are the same thing. Look in the Rocky Mountain ATV catolog. The part number for Renthal bars are the exact same for Blaster, Banshee, and Warriors.

they are the same because they all fit on the 3 quads.
Blasters & Banshees have different bends.
