Title: I need a good grab bar for Raptor 660r
Post by: grsricky on April 19, 2005, 08:00:27 AM
I have an '05 raptor 660r. Though a new atv rider. I have started to wheelie. The stock wheelie bar is a piece of sh.. Since I am new to this, so I bought a stock one to replace the first one. Now it broke again. I am not wheelieing fast mind you. Almost to a standstill at like 85 to 90 degrees. Very slow! My friend's DS650 though constantly stalling causing him to hit the wheelie bar alot, his stock wheelie bar has no problem. What is a good wheelie bar I can get for my raptor. I just got ac nerfs, so i would like to get something that matches(not a priority) but sturdy. I mean if I am going 25 or 30 mph and it hits the ground I don't expect it not to bend but these stock bars are ridiculous. I am also looking for full set of skids, any suggestions will greatly be appreciated.

I got a Warrior and my Grab Bar takes a beating but it never bent.  Go on RockyMountainATV.com

I went to the web site there are only 2 for the raptor. an Ultra lite and the UM performance. Which one do you have or if you recommend, WHY?

PRM makes some sturdy ones.  I have a PRM six-pack rack and bumper on mine. They have some nice looking Desert,Baja and MX style bars.

Thank you for all the advice. Well appreciated. I went with the AC ;D. I am also looking for Hand guards that will fit the 660r raptor. I bought asceris online but they didn't fit. I need to find one that is made for my atv. Everything included, all I need to do is mount. I have common sense but I am not really inclined on mechanics. I would like to keep  improvising to a minimal.

GO WITH THE AC'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I did the same thing, i brought my raptor back when i first got it also, and to no suprise, bent the sh!t out of the grab bar.  I replaced it with the AC standard MX grab bar.  It alows you to keep the tail light and also comes with a grab bar.  One of the best websites for a raptor is http://www.magicracing.com/, they have all the parts you need, and they are cheap.  Get the AC standard MX grab bar, trust me I have stood up my raptor plenty of times on it and it still looks brand new.  Also for the skid plates, go with ACs also.

Ac grab bars may be the worst thing in the world to buy, they snap WELL easier then stock. Get an X-factor grab bar, from www.dirtfiendracing.com you'll have to call in order to get the price and stuff, but Rudy, shop owner is a great guy to deal with. I'm sure he can also direct you in the right direction for skids too.

Thanks for the info. I will get on top of it ASAP. I already got the AC grab bar and if I need another one I know exactly where to go. Thanks. I will now contact him for the skids.
