  |
|
Need some advice on what is the best way to go about improving the handling on the wife's Raptor 350. We ride mainly sand based tracks and river beds which can chop up pretty badly especially if you are heading upstream. After half an hours riding, the GLW's arms are so sore that she loses all feeling in her hands and has to stop. I am looking at replacing her stock bars with Flexx bars and possibly whacking on a steering dampner to try and cut down the punishment to her arms. Is this the way to go, or should we be looking at suspension as well. Obviously this is a much bigger outlay. We have had the stock suspension adjusted to suit her weight and all of the controls adjusted for her reach (she's 4' 11"). Any advice would be good.

Steering dampener.........Flexx Bars are good but I would go the dampener first.

I believe front banshee shocks are a bolt up option on those, supposedly softens the front ride, get on to "Hamo" from QRCV he has them on his 350 & says they are much better than oem & cheap too.
cheers.....
