no the grab bar weighs like 3 pounds. it holds a 2 gallon gas can well and is handy for long rides, but it is big and goofy. i hate it and want a smaller one
 
i cut all the plastics. i thought it made the quad look a little bit wider. maybe just me, but it gives the illusion of a wider bike. but yeah its aluminum. i thought about hacking it up and welding it all back together so i can still have my extra gas and have a smaller grab bar. but you should have seen the one the quad came with. it was steel and eben bigger than that.
 
plus i flipped my fronts so that makes a it a little wider. but saturday i have something to do and sunday i might take off and go hit some trails and see how it handles.
 
where i live, there is land on 3 sides of me and a walmart to the other side. on 2 sides, the reservation blocked it off cause theyre farming and another side is blocked off cause its a big pit. i used to ride there, but they blocked it off. and when there isnt water in it i will go through there to get to the river, but everywhere else is like 30 minutes or less with the quad in my truck
 
rode it today and its alot more stable when im doing donuts. other than that, i didnt notice a real big difference. but it looks better
