OnThePipe Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Im looking to upgrade my stock bars (who the hell has those still) to something a little more rugged but I was wantin to consult with fellow Banshee freaks as to what the best setup is? Ive read some great things about Renthal twinwall bars but Im looking to retain the ride height of stock bars or better. Considering there is hundreds of bends available from various aftermarket manufacturers Id like to order the right bars for me the first time. So let me know what you run and find most comfortable and compairable to the stock bend. Im a taller rider so I like to stand over the machine. Pics would be helpful as well. Quote
peterlocal22 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 not sure what your price range is but i run fasst flexx bars and dont plan on changing. i love them. there great. look awsome and perform better. you would not believe how great they are. 0nly downside is there around 300 bucks. heres a pic http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...st&id=12554 http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...st&id=12553 http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...st&id=12552 http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...st&id=12551 i have the quad racer low bend, but they have a ton of differnet bends. good luck and pm me w any questions see ya peter Quote
RoostRocket Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) i second that, flexx bars are the shit!! i plan to have some on my trail bike as well as my mx bike in the future... i currently have pro taper contours on my 450 and they are great. whatever you go with i would say get fat bars and some cheap adapters. the reason being that fat bars absorb vibration and are much stronger in comparison to standard 7/8th bars... my .02 Edited February 13, 2008 by RoostRocket Quote
theshee Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 You will get a lot of different opinions on this topic... I like drag bars, on a +2 stem. It is the most comfortable thing ever, and it looks good too. Quote
Wildcardracing Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I just run the cheap ol tusk atv sport bends from rockymountain, they're lightweight comfortable and only $25 so if they get messed up it doesn't ruin my day. I would much rather spend my budget on performance... just my .02 Quote
angler Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I have TAG bars and love the feel compared to stock. Also, I rolled my Shee and I bent the stock steering stem into an "L" and when I put on the new Lonestar stem the bars were straight! That's some tough stuff. With the +1 steering stem they feel great. Quote
05Special Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I run Pro Taper Fat Bars with a rail tech clamp.. love it...I have liked high bars on all my bikes though... Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I run the pro tapers 1 1/8 with the trail tech clamp and love it!!!!! Quote
714banshee380 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I run the tag bars... they have never bent yet but i find that kind of strange because tag bars are supposed to be the weakest bars ever.... i've rolled my shee 3 or 4 times and no bend... Quote
[email protected] Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 i got some renthals i stole off a dirtbike lol , work fine Quote
BansheeKid15 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 You will get a lot of different opinions on this topic... I like drag bars, on a +2 stem. It is the most comfortable thing ever, and it looks good too. Thats just because there is a bunch of nicely polished stuff on them :happy: . They do look good tho Quote
spike Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Protaper contour or evo's both fat bars. even If i succeeded into bending a set they are still the shit! I dont think any other bar would of survived that flip down the hill into the rocks Quote

I dont think any other bar would of survived that flip down the hill into the rocks Frogger has stock on his shee, and I have FLY racing bars. I love mine they are just a little higher than than froggers stock ones but it doesntfeel much differant. on the trail mine feel like you are sitting on a harley, but when its climb time you can get over them pretty well.
