Fastassbanshee96 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Where is the best place for me to find a nice grab bar? I am looking for something kinda stream line. I don't really want anything to big or wide. Something around the size of the stock one, maybe a little longer and more custom looking. If this helps, I've got the 7pc front bumper from RIS designs. I like one that they have just looking for something a little cheaper. Any ideas would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% who..but I've seen a member on here that build a pretty trick looking rear grab bar with a tail light built in. I'm sure someone will remember who builds it....

I put a Six Pack Rack on my Banshee and it handy. As far as price and quality go I think DG is hard to beat. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thack82 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ebay has a nice jardine bumper for arond 60 bucks, had it on my old bike.....I had a blingstar one, but decided to have a stock one PC'd. I'd hit ebay or the FS threads for sure I have a JAW'S bumper I like sometimes, But the OEM front Bumper looks the best on a Banshee IMO. The bad thing about the OEM Bumper is its a cheap light weight piece of junk. They wont take alot of abuse. I ended up sending my stock bumper to a Machine shop and had them make me a replica out of Heavy Gauge Forged Steel and had it powder coated Yamaha Silver. I'm good friends with the guy that owns the Machine shop so I might be able to get some other parts (Bumpers, skids, courtesy racks) replicated out of forged aluminum or steel if someone is willing to pay me enough to fool with it. They tried making my front bumper out of heavy gauge polished aluminum but it twisted up when they started welding it, so I was forced to go with the Forged Heavy Duty Steel with silver powder coat. Just thought I'd give you that option as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Heavy Gauge Forged Steel do you know what the term forged means? the bumper should bend under impact. when it absorbs the impact , the frame doesnt have to. i myself dont run a bumper because other than the stock on, i havent found one i like.

Well, It's made out of heavy duty heat tempered steel.The forging process involves the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces and different tempters. What do you mean do I know the what the term forged means? I like the way the stock bumper looks too, and the little skid plate thats welded to the bottom of it nice, I'm surprised some of the other bumper manufactures haven't copied it. The Bumper bending under impacts okay I guess, But I don't think it should bend when you hit a one inch ceder tree like the stock one does! I guess if you don't mind riding around with the front of your quad looking like some one beat the hell out of it with a ball ping hammer after you've been on a trail ride its okay. That cheep stock bumpers not going to keep you from bending your frame if you hit something with enough impact to bend the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
