Depends on how high the crossbar is. If it's high enough, you can still use the plastic housing. If nothing else, I have a new set of stock bars here I'd pretty much give away.

If you have the cash I would go for the fastco bars they are worth the $$. You can use a trailtech clamp to keep your key in the same area

tag t2....will need new clamps but you will never buy new bars......if you bend t2s you have bigger problems the the bars. you can also just drill holes in the plastics and put the lights and key anyplace you want...

Wow, how do you guys bend those bars soo fast? Do you roll your quad every 10 minutes? lol

I had the same pair of 7/8th renthals for like 2 years and switched them between two quads.. Rolled the 400ex like twice with them on and not a bend in them, but the last time they finally gave up :devil:

I never had problems with my renthals even when it did roll. The stockers are what I was referring to, they bend without rolling
