Anybody running aftermarket bars on their M? The stockers are weak and I ended up bending them last season. I saw a set of renthals on a polaris that looked good but I see that RSI has a nice set to so I was just wondering if anybody had some experience that they wouldn't mind sharing.

You'll find the RSI aluminum bars to be extremely strong. That would be our suggestion.

Bars

Ditto on the weak stock bars!!! Broke a set last year way in the back...... Had to leave the sled for a week in a LARGE drainage while I waited for a new set!!

I have the Fly Sno-X race bars on my F7. I will be mounting them on M7. They are extremely strong. I have had way too many hard crashes to count and they have never bent.

If your worried of aluminum bars being cold shoot them with urethane foam and they will stay toasty warm.

Cheers Don.

...and use RSI hand warmers. They are HOT!

I ended up with RSI bars. They work well. When looking at aftermarket bars make sure there is enough room to mount your brake and throttle controls. Most bars unless specified for snow dont leave enough space on the flat bar to mount all the controls.

The RSI bars are pretty wide and are notched so you can cut down to your desired length. Yes, the RSI warmers are the way to go...very warm!

Not RSI but similar. I bought these before RSI had them available. Mine are Fly bars, sno-x bend(same as RSI's) Love em. The only bend I'd try other than the Sno-X is a Pro Taper RC bend. Super super comfortable.

Looks like RSI is the way to go. I had already planned on doing the RSI handwarmers cause the cat ones are a fnking joke, I can't even tell when they are turned on. In reguards to the bend what is better getting the racers bend or getting a 10 degree and adding bar hooks.

If you like the bend of the race bars it will save you some $$ to get the Race bend.

We also have our new Aluminum Rise handlebars and Chromoly Rise handlebars in stock.

Sort of off the topic but how many inches of rise do the 08 M1000 come with wanna be around the same hieght but want different bars?

I'm actually looking into this as well. I have narrowed it down to the 7 inch aluminum rise handlebars. These are going onto an Arctic Cat M7. My question is, can I use all the stock components attached to AC's stock handlebars or do I need to purchse aftermarket throttle, brake, etc?

I have an 06 M7 and the rise was 7 inches if that helps any. I'm guessing the specs are real similar.
