i have purchased a set of bars for my 450 thier CR low bend, i was wounder what height steering stem you guys run, i want to get a houser becuase i can get a deal +1 or +2 ??? and what do you guys do with the nuetrul, overheat, and key switch where do you relocate them??? pictures would be great!!! thanks

depending on your height i would get a +1...the low bed will hit your tank depending on where your controls are with a stock height stem. if you are over 6-2 then you should get a +2 stem.

i relocated and ziptied my key under my hood. i have it incase i want it but it can be disconnected.

your overheating light needs to be in a place you can see it. either in the bar pad, zip tied to the bars or zip tied to one of the clutch cables or throttle cables.

Yeah I'd go with a +1 stem. I got rid of the the key switch all together and have my temp light zip tied to the bars.

I would go with a +1 because its not too high and not too low but if your pretty tall you prabably want to get a +2. Here is a pic of where I mounted my keys and temp light on the right. I just used a wood drill that was the right size and the mounted perfect and stay tight. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a156/avrilfankc/quadtechhood002.jpg

I am 6'2" and run CR high bars on a plus 1" stem. I also trim the bars done a bit, I find the motorcycle bars to be a bit wider then bars designed for quads.

im 6'1 so im thinking i might go with the +2 stem plus im one to stand alot while riding so i think it might be better. i was thinking about drilling two holes in my hood and putting the overheat and neutral light on thier idk anyone else got anything?

I am only about 5'8" or so and I have a plus one and at times I wish it was a plus 2. I always ran cr low bend bas until I got my Flexx bars. I would think you will probably want the +2 being a little taller esp if you stand a lot cause that's what makes me wish I had a +2. You just have to be careful getting to tall cause you run out of cable.

[SicRipp83]

yea i might go that route, im also going to see what i can to to get my nuetral light, over heat, and key switch in my hood! i think it will be sick

I am 5'10" and run a +2 and love the extra highth. I also run my bars way forward. I have a dash that bolts into the bar clamp and that is where all my lamps and key is.
