Which grab bar for a Raptor?
#1
I am going to order a new grab bar, and have seen two that look good, and strong. The PRM desert grab bar, and the Graydon Proline grab bar. they are both the same price, and I will be ordering them from the quad shop, so the poor Graydon customer service will not be an issue.

becareful of the PRM front bumpers/grab bars...i had the desert bumper on my raptor and flipped it. the prm bumper damaged my frame...let me explain...looking down at a prm bumper (aerial few) you will notice a v cut in the aluminum...well when i had my accident, the top left bolt sheered right off allowing the V-notch to come in and crease my frame...badly.
PRM makes great products but i will not mount another bumper on my quad until they change that design.

Sorry about your accident Raptor660rnh.
I will have to vote for the PRM Desert grab bar. It's a heavy duty unit, looks great(IMHO)and is very functional. I know that if it ever goes over backwards again, the grab bar will protect my slip-on.
There's my .02

FYI, I have the PRM Desert grab bar and it bends pretty easily. Two places I have bent it. One being where the flag holder is, it is made from aluminum and seems to not be strong enough to hold the flag. It hasn't broke, but has bent very badly.
Second place it has bent, is when I had a fairly low speed rollover from spinning out and being hi-sided. It flipped over once and bent the heck out of the bars that bolt to the subframe. This part I am not too worried about, as if it wouldn't of bent, my subframe could of. So?
Just wanted to throw that out at you guys.

i started building my own grab bars and bumbers.i had a dg bumper on my warrior and nosed in to a creek bottem hard,it bent the frame were the bumper bolted on and sheered two bolts.i also have seen sub frames bend because the grab bar didnt.my rear grab bars/bumpers are .125 wall 1 inch t6 tubing with 1/4 mounting straps.the tube style mounts are too strong in my opinion and only cause frame damage.id rather have a bolt on item bend.
