Pro Taper sells them in different heights also, ATV low, mid, and highs. I have Highs on mine becaused I am 6' 2".

 

[Dan151]

[blaster551]

no no no!!!! renthal is way stronger!!!! pro taper are cheap and ont feel good they a low quality bar i found my friends msr bars were better not even kiddinggggggggggg

 

[dirtyblaster]

hmm,have u ever tried pro tapers? when i was on my buddy's banshee with renthenals, they vibrated like crazy,even at low revs. we will let dan 151 decide

 

[01blaster_freak]

Don't judge them by what you felt on the banshee....banshee's vibrate more then blasters do i found that out myself.

get them new flex bars they are like 229 dollars i think....hahaha

i personnally like TAG X5's ive got them on both my bikes....the ones for LZ400's are perfect for me and Im 6'. They are very tough bars!!

I am going to be ordering some pro taper at the begining of next month...

Personally i prefer a bar that isn't extremely durable. I have a renthal and i cant bend it. I have rolled pretty dame hard on that thing and it has never bent. The bad part is it will bend the steering stem because the bars just wont give. which sucks. Renthals are very strong, ive never tried pro taper though.

 

[01blaster_freak]

i think the steering stem on my blaster is bent........when you look at it from the front the bars seem to be sitting lower on one side.

 

[flyers42091]

Yeah it probably is. Or your cross eyed. one or the other

 

[01blaster_freak]

lmfao. im deff not cross eyed otherwise it look like my computer screen is crooked an its not its sitting on a level desk....must be the steering stem!

 

[flyers42091]

Must be, lol
