aftermarket bars

[ozzy]

Need a new set of bars on my 08 xp wondering what everyone is using

I went with the RSI's last year after cracking the aluminums. The chromoly race bend is fairly close to stock, just has the longer j hook on the left side. You can get the carbon fiber ones as well. I think it was ebay I found them with new heated elements, grips and bar pad for under $120.

I also went to RSI Liked them alot wish i would have spent the extra coin and got the carbon fiber ones tho... I had the RSI backcountry bends I recommend them there really comfortable and look sweet!
Heres a picture of them Id just recommend throwing on some j hooks

i HAVE THE RSI CARBON MTN BARS ON MINE AND LOVE THEM!!!

Are the carbon fiber wrapped bars noticeably warmer? Or is it just the bling factor that people like about them.

ebay you mean? SNOWMOBILE HANDLE BAR TAPERED RSI RACE GUNMETAL | eBay

I just searched rsi handlebars and found a few, it may have even been these guys I bought from but they have a mini package with everything you need.

I do like the backcountry bend that some others have, but find you have to relocate the button control cluster to make enough room.

 

[dbar7]

Yeah you have to relocate the cluster to make them work but so worth it, if you put the j hooks on them i have been told they give you enough room to mount the cluster in the original position... and the carbon fiber ones are supposed to be alot warmer i have been told by people that used them...

I put the Freeride bars with a Rox adjustable riser on my rev and really liked them. I might try to put a set on my M8.

yeah the rsi carbon fiber bars are so sick looking but yeah the carbon fiber doesnt hold the heat very well I have had these bars for three years now and still havent got the heated grips to work so i just carry a spare pair of old school leather mitts in my bag. I even wrapped my bars with heat tape this last time to see if it work and still no go hahaha

They dont call it a backcountry bend, its a CR high with I believe is pretty much the same. I have a pic somewhere.

If you want a list of all the bends and contours go to that protaper link. I would like to see a Trails high bend, they have a good rise but a longer sweep.

Question I just bought the back country bend bars from RSI they are slot wider are you guys cutting them down or just running them wide
