Does anyone have these? For the price I figure I might try them out if they are any good. Also for grips I was thinking MSR DCX Gel Grips too, any good?

I just bought those bars tonight. I have not put them on yet. They seem to be made fairly well. They are nice and light. There much wider than the stock bars so I'm going to cut them down. The bend appears to be about the same as stock. All though the knurling for the handle bar clamps is not the same!! I'll let you know when I get them on, It maybe a few days. I plan on riding Saturday.

Unless you're just really bent on the dominators, you might consider MSR Profiles in ATV Lo. They are carbon steel but they look really cool. They even come with a trick lookin' pad.

I rode Saturday, with the msr bars for the first time. They are pretty good bars. I over shot a double, and flat landed after I was about 8 feet up. Bars didn't bend, wrist was a little sore! Hope this helps!

They are really good bars for the price. I bought them about a week ago and rode with them that weekend. They look alot better and feel good too. I got them in the cr high bend.

I've got a set, and like 'em alot for the price. Best part is, if I do bend them, just throw them away and get another set, but they haven't bent yet..

I have the MSR Gel Grips too. I like the feel them, they aren't sticky, nor do they leave your hands black like the stockers.

I've decided to order Renthal (ATV race bend) bars with MSR grips and new bearings and seals for the rear axle,

P.S- Im kiinda looking for a lower set of handlebars?? CR HIGH BEND MAYBE? something that sits lower and doesnt have as much pull back as atv bars

Cr-high bend bars are about 2 inches lower than the stockers with slightly less sweep to them. What made you choose renthal over the MSR's?

I think Im gonna order the cr high bend renthals from rocky mountain, but what do i order? they dont say cr high bend on the chart

if you just want them because they say renthal then just order the msr and order the renthal pad

According to KNOWSALOT on the Connection, both renthal and MSR bars are made in the same factory, and are the same exept for the crossbar/pad. For most people it's an issue of when, not if, they'll bend their bars, so why pay 30 bucks extra for a name?

I made my mind up! Im gonna order Dominator bars (cr high bend) with MSR grips, acerbis rally brushgaurds, and some used 23x7x10 XTC holeshots from Rath Racing for 75$ (if they still have them)

Also, would the cr high bend be good for a woods rider?

The cr high bends are good for woods riding. That's what I mostly ride and they are great. When I was ordering I figured it was the same material and bend so why not spend 30 less? I don't believe in buying a name only quality. If they Renthals were worth the extra 30 I would have spent it.
