Handle bars for 08 m8

i have some friends running aftermarket moto style bars, they look killer. But then they hit somthing there steering post bends instead of the bars because the bars are stronger

I think replacing it with stockers is the best bet, thats all I did

I haven't put fly bars on mine yet, but i soon want to. They are SOOOOO much stronger it is well worth the cost. I have them sittin in the garage haven't found the time...

Im running Fly Mtn bars and risers on my M*, was the first then I did to the sled. M's are designed for 6'2+ guys.. Also like having a wider grip and a smaller bar to hang on too. I tend to run the risers not super tight, so the break point is on the riser not the post..

I have a whole RSI setup on my M7, 6 inch riser, backcountry bend bars, and you could put a mountain strap on it too if you wanted. Awesome setup and ride really well. definitly check out RSI

just went through the same thing on my 09 turbo m8,hated hated hated the stock bars,and ugly controls... and the adjustable post had way too much slop in it...comming from a 07 rev with tight steering i hated it! and all i have ever ridden were race sled with 440 bar setups and the m8 stock steering had to go...biggest beef with the sled...

my setup

- 09 600 sno pro 600 bars (steel bars so the warmers do work!!!)
- aluminum throttle block,sno pro 600 kill switch,mxzx 440 dimmer switch, polaris assult reverse switch, and 3 position switch in console for hand/thumb warmers and 07 sno pro bar pad
- 10 inch black riser
- wildchild chrome-moly re-enforced steering post with T Top
- BDX Steering support (must have!)

this setup makes the sled feel like the 440 sno pros without cutting up your hood...and i could put the bars alot more forward...and still have 1" higher than stock height with adj post up high...

although the 440's steering post is straigher and has a more natural feel when turning,and the turning forces dosent work against itself like the m series sleds....this setup works good...

i would have went with the 440 sp setup but the turbos parts take up the room...

Went to RSI's after breaking my factory bars. Tried some TAG's. Ended up buying stock everything, including handwarmers as aftermarket just turned into a pain in the ***. Plus I'd rather break my stock bars which are $40, than be replacing a steering post. And it has the factory fit and finish that people look for upon resale.
