No luck with grab bars...

[Jim417mx]

Ok, I have never had this much bad luck with grab bars... I have a 07 ltr and have been trying to find a nice grab bar for a while. Here is a list of what I owned..

Rath - the welds cracked on BOTH sides just from LIFTING the quad... so I bought a blingstar..

First blingstar - I really liked it, especially the number plate brackets, they were nice, except the rear fender mounts didnt even come CLOSE to lining up..

Second blingstar (wrecked the quad with the first one)
same thing, looks nice, but doesnt line up with the rear fender mounts, I mean.. I'm talking 1" - 1.5" off.. not even close...

What do you guys run? I see EVERYBODY has a rath, did I just get a bad one? It cracked from lifting my quad into my truck.. it was NEVER wheelied on, and only lasted a couple months...

you might contact rath and see if there might have been an issue and see if they can take care of it.

Personally we run PRM bumpers and Grabbars and have ran some of the rath stuff but not on an ltr.

i've had pretty decent luck with the stock grab bar, i run alot of indoors and its held up for 3 years now.

+1 on the stock one, though I would like to get the Pro-Armor one. The stocker is tough, and it bends before it breaks. over wheelied a few times and just bent it. Took a big chunk of 4x4 wood and smacked it back down. Still is not broken.

Anybody know some places to buy the brackets that hold the rear number plates on the stock grab bars? I will probly stay with a stocker, i see many pro's run them, I'm just one of those people who has to have the most expensive everything haha.

I bought mine off ebay, they always have them on there. I believe Magic Racing also sells them.

i just ended up using the stock one again, The rath did the same thing as what happened to yours. IT only took a month before the rath broke.

Ditto on the Rath stuff for us also. The only grab bar AND Nerfs that have been able to hold up on our race quads has been the DG National Series Stuff. We tried Rath, AC, Pro Aluminum, and Pro Armor
