How much do you want to spend? I like my tag x5 bars but would love to get some tag t2 but dont have the money. I got mine from rockymountainatvmc.com

you could always buy a set of renthal standards. i love mine. very strong. only like 56 bucks or something. mines been rolled a couple times on these bars and they are still like new.

price doesnt concern me really, just want some good bars that are close to stock. Those bars have a cross pad bar , does the key/neutral/reverse light thing fit under them, thanks

nope there still on top the headlights. i did remove the red cover the goes over the bars and install a billet clamp. the stock clamps will work though as well as the cover.


EDIT: diddn't relize you had an 07. not sure about the key and lights. relocating them isn't that hard though.

As far as i know it will fit. There is more space between the cross bar and the bottom than the picture makes you believe. I have a 2001 so i dont have that stuff on my bars, its over the headlight.

If you can't get the plastic to work on the new bars, ModQuad makes a billet top clamp with the holes for lights and key switch. I think I got mine from motosport.com.

I love my pro tapers atv mids...fit perfect and I'm 6'2". I just zipped tided my ignition to the clutch cables and the lights to my brake cables as a temp fix....It works completely fine....I'm not exactly sure where I want to mount on the plastics, each spot I've looked at has to many con's to the pro's...so i might just keep em zipped tided. has anyone else relocated to the plastics. I was thinkin under the reverse nob but I'm afraid the rough terrian I ride on, something might rip it out or the cables melt due to the temp from the oil cooler and engine. if u go with the pro tapers get em from gopartsdirect.com bars with the mounts where like 90 bucks with free shipping. and it was at the house in 4 days!

x2 i have em.
1 complaint... they were red and now... they turned pink lol
they are great bars, had em so long they have faded (obviously).
However, 1 thing i dont get; i have rolled goin fast, rolled on concrete, did the crazy hi speed flips were it looks like the motor and plastics are all gonna be slung off/out and never bent the bars... then i roll it recently in a pasture because i got up on two wheels going around a cone and lost it and she easily rolls up on the side.. bend em a little.. what the heck?? lol they are getting old but hey out of 5 stars they get all 5.
