what bars do you guys run or reccomend for trails? plus on the newer plastics theres a plastic piece with neutral and reverse lights will this fit on to aftermarket bars?
thanks austin

I've had my renthals on my 400 for 7yrs. put them on after my first roll over.The plastic dash fits just fine .

Depends on the kinda bar you want to run. The kind with the upper support pc you cant use the plastic dash. You can take some sheetmetal and make your own dash or relocate the switches and key to the fender.

I run pro taper SE (thats 7/8 thick like the stock bars) high bend. Im 6ft tall and find them very comfy.

Depends on the bars and the pad. I never had a dash period so tbh I didnt know if it would fit.

Why one would even want the dash is beyond me, I think they look tacky on the older models especially. If I had a newer model the stuffs going on the fender.

id like some pro tapers or somthin aftermarket but still want the dash since im tryin to keep it stock-ish

find a set of used flexx bars, once you ride with them you will agree that the ride comfort they offer, offsets the cost

[zach0199]

I have an Anti-Vibe stem, and it doesn't really seem to help much.

As for the instrument cluster, I just relocated my key to the left front fender, just like the reverse switch is on the '05s and up, and I put the lights in the tank cover piece.
