Here's the only pic of mine that I have thus far: Tag T2's - SX bend, Scott Hurricane Grips, ASV rotator clamp, ASV front brake lever, Nac's Billet throttle and master cylinder covers, and a Magura hydraulic clutch. I'm considering switching to a much higher Fly Aero Taper Mini Works bend because I still feel a bit hunched over with my stock steering stem.

Then maybe you should look into this, it will raise the bars 1 inch

I just put these on last week. I think it would have looked better if I would've sprayed my clamps black. Should I pull them back off and spray 'em?:confused:

Thanks for the comment, i'm glad you like it. Oh and I already have those, they are the standard adapters that are required for any type of fat bar. I believe the ones i have from Tag raise the bars 3/4 of an inch from stock. I'm also considering Rox risers, but my plan is to get some higher bars, and then get a +1 stem when this temporary stock stem gives out on me.

I put a set of renthal 250R bends on my stock stem for my 400, and it raised it up quite a bit, I like it a lot now. Ill see if I can snap a pic of it tomorrow.

I believe it is just the Standard ATV Bend. Those bars are about 3 years old and FMF has released more types of bars for Quads so i can't really say exactly which ones they are.

are the aftermarket 400ex bends a pretty comfortable bar? I am looking at getting new bars cause my flys are bent incredibly bad. I had some renthals on my 250x that were really really low and i hated them. I just dont want to buy a set and hate them..

03-01-2005, 06:47 PM
Gillbilly, I am using the stock stem.It is a little taller now than it was. I wanted to get the cr double high bend but they were on backorder so I got these instead.A +1 stem with these set-up would be even better for a tall person. When I rode the other day it was alot easier for me to stand up.

Trail-Tech Standard bend X-bars. Smith watercraft grips (they are AWESOME). I have a magnum perch on it now also. Its a 450 but you get the look. The Trail-Tech bars are rated higher than Pro-Tapers.
