I know, I know... it's been posted numerous times before. But I'm putting a 12 bar on my EX this weekend... finally, and I'm just wonder if you guys cut off the old grab bar and welded something up in it's place, or ground the stock bar flat and welded on a plate... like Tiller did. What's better in you opinion and why?

 

My opinion: Cut off stock grab bar and pound some threaded rod into the frame. Weld the rod to the frame to secure it in place and then scrape rod on theroad to get the angle. Then weld a plate onto the rod. This setup will stiffen your sub frame so it doesnt bend.

 

Great tip! Thanks for the input. But do you think plates scrape better than a round bar?


BTW... Bar tricks are gay, but my bar is almost gone because of too many screw ups putting the quad on it's ***.

 

BTW your gay. Round or flat is up to you. I use flat because I made my plate replaceable.

 

I went to college in Manchvegas where I learned the fine art of muff diving. Hate to spoil your fantasy of getting it on with a CVB.... but I'm not gay... pole smoker. Try Lanphear... I hear he loves the ****!


BTW... thanks for the info and help once again!

 

Find any lobsters during your dives?

 

bahaha lobsters...what about crabs?! haha

 

resale is way easier with mine(stock subframe).. and if u dont hit the bar like a ton of bricks.. it wont bend..

10 minutes and mine was done

ps.. Heard phear sold his quad for a tootoo.. ***

 

wtf a tatoo? gtfo here!

 

I put 4 U-bolts on my stock one and I can scrape all I want till they wear out then I put more, saves my bar.

 

Scrape plastic...

 

F re-sale. I've got to much money in upgrades to turn back now.

 

How does my name always manage to get brought up????



Maybe if you look around on the net you can find someone with a bent subframe (bent at the grab bar portion), and you can hack it off and do the mod to that one....that way you will still have your stock one to put back on when you decide you want to sell your quad.

maybe ebay or exriders has something.....

Ps.... 12' bars are for girls!

 

At least I 12 the ****er unlike some of you who don't even show up for meets. HOMOS!

 

you talkin to me?

 

HOMO. Duh

 

who needs bars? if you keep it up you wont have a problem and unless your slamming it your not gonna mess the stock one up too bad

 

well if ur bar and subframe are one piece, like my kfx, then u need to reinforce it no matter what, plus it gets boring doing highspeed stuff, so now its time to slow it down. i got my 12 bar put on today for 10 bucks! w00t! tx ryan, and its holdin up well, haha i didnt 12 it yet, but im definately gunna work on it. anyways, i reinforced it and all so it should work good. :YEAH
