Author Message   Jasonb Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 10:55 pm:        My bars are bent after a low side slide on Monday. Has anyone swapped out the stock bars and have any recommendations? I read Al's write up from a few years ago about the Renthals. Any other suggestions? Anyone have an extra left side frame puck? That's ruined too. Other parts are too, but I have a plan for them. TIA, JasonB   Pontlee77 Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 12:37 pm:        Do you like the stock bars? why change for something far more expensive, and needing to drill the holes or cut the nipples off? At least my personal opinion   Mikef5000 Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 01:57 pm:        I swapped for some cheap aluminum ATV High-Bend bars. The were very similar to the stock bend, cheaper, and stronger.   Jasonb Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 08:03 pm:        Mine are bent after the low side slide. I'm debating if I should buy stockers or different ones.   Turf_moor Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 04:12 pm:        Are there any Renthals that would not alter the riding position?   Mhevezi Posted on Thursday, October 11, 2012 - 02:14 pm:        I hear the Raptor Bend, ATV bars by Renthal are very close to the stockers. Plus they are lighter and stronger.   Turf_moor Posted on Thursday, October 11, 2012 - 06:00 pm:        Thanks, Mhevezi. I'll check them out.   Jasonb Posted on Thursday, October 11, 2012 - 09:32 pm:        I ended up buying Renthal medium rise from American Sportbike. I already had 1in risers since I lowered the front and had to raise the bars for clearance. The position is more leaning, but not uncomfortable. I also only have about 1.5hrs of ride time in them. So far, I like them.
