just looking to get some opinions as to which ones better. I weigh abought 180 lbs so want one that wont bend that easy.
wide vs narrow grab bar

not only that, but functionally its easier for me anyway to grab it and move it with the wider grabber
I may build my own wide bar but in going to use low grade steel or aluminum bolts so they will break before the frame will.
good deal... our old beater 200x had a steel grab bar welded up, and steel bolts.. needless to say busted the rear of the frame off where the grab bar bolts on
yea i gotta get a new one now cause mines bent up and only 3 bolts will go in. it was like taht when i got it, but anyways im thinking abotu geting this one. I think it'll look good with the maier fenders i want, im goign with the yfz style rears.

^^^^ that's a nice one, atleast i think so haha but personally i prefer the Moose or AC Racing wide grab bars, right now i have the AC Racing MX grab bar but i want a wide one lol.
I wouldn't use aluminum bolts. If they broke inside the frame you will have a hell of a time removing them.
Well, I come from the world of dirtbiking where if you can't make it up the
hill, the darned bike chucks you off and comes looking for you to hurt ya!
Any sharp edges or corners are gonna hurt when they hit a knee or thigh.
That PRM Desert Rear Grab Bar looks a bit too sharp on the edges for me.
I had a wide bar on my Raptor, my son has a narrow bar on his Blaster.
I bought a wide bar for my Blaster because I like the extra protection for
the rear fender and the extra grab and leverage it gives me when stuck.
A narrow bar doesn't let you lift a side when needed.

I got that one and it works great. way easier to lift the rear end up very strong (a ram from a scrambler proves it)and very nice to have when you get stuck.
