hetricks has them, but IMO spend the money on a set of Youth Fastflexx bars. they will do more for your rider then the stick style dampner will.

I havent order my boy a set as of yet. i have them on my R and think they would kick butt on a mini quad also.

i would call colby at C&D racing, explain what quad you have and let him look at the specs for the flexx bars. we will be making the switch at seasons end, i dont want to make changes until we are done. cody is particulair about his bars:ermm:

they make them for the mini dirtbikes, so a bar adapter is needed that will slightly raise bar height. should fit and function good, but you will also have to use different clamp on style brake levers etc

Just wanted you guys to understand that the Flexx Bars and the Steering stabilizer serve two different purposes. The Flexx Bars will soften the blows from braking bumps, hard landings etc and takes most of the vibration out, especially important in mini's since they vibrate so much. I've used the bars this past year and are amazing. My joints didn't hurt anymore after a moto. My son ran an anti vibe stem and a steering dampner that worked well. The "youngsters" joints handle the jolts better. Can use Flexx Bars instead of anti vibe stem but works awesome combining both. The steering dampner is a must especially on minis because the center of the tires rides so far outside of the spindle center. Kick your mini tire from the front once and see how it yanks the bars in that direction. The steering dampner helps to keep the bars from being ripped out of your hands when one tire hits a hard bump (or tree) and jerks the steering in that direction. It also helps keep the quad more stable at higher speeds. I hope this makes sense. Don't give up one for the other. Cheers!

I agree w/ohto.
The flex bars are great but not a replacment for a stabilizer.

Hey guys, call Johnny at JH Racing 918-371-0101 and tell him Daniel Pirrie from Ohtu (pronounce OH-TWO) Racing/ATVskills sent you and I believe he still has them for $115. They are the same ones everyone else puts there sticker on. We've run ours for two years and no problems.

Cheers,
