  |
|
Hi all...i just bought a new Raptor 700 and i was thinking of getting new tapered bars for it, maybe Pro Tapers or Tag's but i wasnt sure if they would be too low because the stock bars have quite a high bend on them, also i wasnt sure where the ignition (key) setup would sit with the new bars...can any one help me out with info??
Cheers.

Either brand make a bar suitable for the Raptor. A number of aftermarket pieces are available that attach to the bar clamps to allow for relocation of your ignition. Otherwise you can easily relocate the ignition to the left hand front fender if you want a clean look.

They do specific bends for atv's with or without crossbars. I run Zeta bars with a shallow bend just enough to clear the tank and I find them as comfy as. The stock bars on the wife's Raptor feel and look huge in comparison.

| Gday. On my old mans raptor 700, he put atv bend pro tapers on. He also bought a DRD reverse lever to suit raptor. Its small and sits just under and back from throttle. Then gave the reverse button the flick and mounted the key in its spot on the guard where the reverse button was. The reverse lever works mint, dont have to lean forward to operate reverse botton. Can post photos if you want. |
