I don't have an aftermarket stering stem yet, but I probably will soon. I'm planning on getting a set of 2+1 a-arms and aftermarket shocks. I'm going to get some handlebars first while I decide. What do you guys think would be the best? Renthal---atv/raptor bend? Another brand? Help you guys! Thanks!!

 

Sit on your quad and close your eyes and raise your hands above your head. With your eyes closed, lower your hands to where you "feel" you are comfortable. Open your eyes and that is where your bars/grips should be. Get bars that match. That is what I did and Renthal Banshee bend bars work for me.

 

i bought the renthal banshee bars while i waited for renthal to finish r & d
on the raptor bend
the banshee bend bars rub the plastic on the top of the gas tank
the raptor bend bars are an excellent choice and they were well worth the wait

if i were to somehow bend them i would replace them with the same thing...very comfortable!

 

Canitor, after reading your post I called 2 other friends with Banshee bend and you are correct. One guy's bars hit the plastic on the tank. 2 of ours do not.

 

in all fairness the banshee bend was not uncomfortable at all but the rubbing on the plastic was...i kept them for emergency use...
i would guess the rubbing has more to do with the plastic than the bar bend ,dont you?i mean,wouldnt you think the bars would be consistent?

 

hey man i put a set of renthal freestyle motorcross bars on my raptor cause in australia i cant get banshee bend or any sport atv bars they are awesome only problem with my kill switch hits the plastic but all i got to do is move it

 

Renthal doulbewall is all the go big freestyle mx'ers use. Im too poor for em, So i got me some "O'neil" bars. They work. Havent bent yet!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Just got the Tag Metals T2 with the key cylinder and indicator light plate. Putting them on this weekend will give a report. Did wreck my buddy's raptor last week and his T2's didn't move an inch.
