i was riding today and i bent my 250EX handlebars, are there any aftermarket brands that are made to where i don't have to relocate my lights and key, cause i really don't feel like having to do that, if not, i'll just go back to the factory h-bars.


thanx

if u get any atv bend bars u shouldnt have to move ur lights and key. it will be a little tight if u get a crossbar pad but it will work

i dont think it will work ........if u need a pair of stock bars i took mine off before i even rode the quad so they are show-room cond.

ive bent so many bars on my quad. usually from jumping and bottoming out the shocks too hard. any atv bar will work with the black plastic. I still have mine on there. I have had moose bars. Dominators. Pro Racing aluminums. I glad Ive never paid for the renthals. Id be pissed if I bent 90 dollar bars. Im a little pissed at my friend for rolling it over and bending my new pro racing alums. Dont buy moose bars if you jump a lot. I bent them things so far forward one time by nosing it too hard. granted I was up in the air like 10 feet and came straight down on the front end on a little 250ex. but still the moose bars suck. Oh the bar pads dont get in the way. If you have them over the choke it really easy just to take the pad off or slide it over.

Haha,yah remove the cross bar on a sewt of renthals,and thats not too bright, the bar is there for a reason(for strenght) you take the bar off,and they are just as or weaker than the stockers.

Alos,yah some Renthal 400ex bend or whatever you want should work with those ugly good for nothing plastic bar clamp covers.
