i just went with some tag racing motox bars. Look around in local shops near you and test um out, see if you can find a set you like. Just gotta be 1 7/8 bars. Or is it 7/8? yup its 7/8.

I like pro tapers with a high rise (and no cross bar) to do over the bar tricks. you'll have to get bar adapters since they're fatter.

I have some UMI bars that I will sell you. Polished with crossbar, needs a new cover on the crossbar pad.
$25.00 shipping.

What he said.
Pro Tapers w/o the cross bar. I'm on the taller side so I used a tall bar adaptor. The height is much better now.

Anyone have part #s or specs on the bars they are running? i.e. 121mm rise or say 143mm (raptors)
Looked on the PT site but there are many to choose from and don't see universal bars.... worried that makes won't work for a Blaster. i.e. bar knarls won't be aligned with ski mount, etc.
Also don't see risers.... just triples with different cushions.

I bought the tallest ones the store had. they arn't going to just bolt on. you'll need to buy the bar adapters. you'll probably have to drill holes on the steering head for the adapters, not sure since I put mine on a custom steering set up.

hey LBE what is the part number for those bars you have in the pics.
will they just bolt up without the risers?
thanks, Bruce
EDIT: alright after looking at my ski in person i realize how this has to work.
would this kit here work ?????

would ODI grips fit on the 1 1/8 bars? or would i have to go with something else

so check it out... i went ahead and ordered that set of bars...
looks pretty good i think
i had to go to ace hardware and get some longer stainless metric allen head bolts to make it through the stock mounting bracket
i also had to drill a hole for the pin on the start stop switch and for the stock throttle lever.
still need to file down the left grip area(grip wont slide over the rough metal), cut the bars a bit shorter tomorow... they are soooo wide and adjust my throttle cable... its a bit tight right now.
unfortunately i ran out of daylight so it will have to be done tomorow.
ill take some better pictures tomorow in the daylight once the job is complete...

I used to run PT's or Renthal Fatbars on all my bikes. I would like something taller than the UMI bars I have on my blaster now. I used to like the Doug Henry bend in the PT's...... I wonder how they would feel on my blaster.:thinking:
