Steering stem...

[96cobra10101]

Mines bent on my YFZ, to many tree roots at Croom. I tore it down today to see what the frack was wrong and its about 3 or 4 degrees out of wack, possibly more. I compensated for it by adusting my tie rods, but that takes some radius out of my left turn and adds to my right turn. Obviously I need a new stem, and I figure I would go +2 with a different bar and an anti vibe handle bar. I was thinking Houser or JD (cough cough, Brian)for the stem, but unsure about the bar. Any ideas? And how much of a PITA is it to find longer cables to accomodate the height?

this is a bad mofo here, its the one jeff is runnin on the shee, it has a clamp where the stem and bar mounts meet so that if you hit something it will give, then all you have to do is loosen the allen nut straiten your bars and retighten. they also make it with a +1 to the front (for them tall people) and up to a +4 in height.
And I think Brian can get them for you!!!!!:rock:

adam see pm....

Adam. You may not need longer cables with a +2 stem. Mine fit with the stock cables.

[YAMAHABANSHEE06]

They make a great product I have the +2 a arm set up on my Banshee they are built extremeley well.

[johns450r]

I dont know if you will like a plus 2 stem i bought one rode once now it sits in my garauge its a houser off a honda 450r if it will fit your bike you can try it first to see and if you like it i will make you a deal on it if you like it and i only had to get a longer brake line.

Ignore my post Bro. I just realized from my signature that my stem is a +1. I suck at life.

idk man. Its pretty snug right now, especially the brake cable. It would be nice not to have to, but we'll see.

I have the Houser +1 on my Raptor with a set of ProTaper Cr High Bend (soon to be Fasst Flex) and i love the setup. I have plenty of room as so does my buddy who has a +2 on his YFZ

I tried taller bars and I couldn't get the cables to reach to the stock bars went on.

[wolfey971]

houser +2 with fasst flex bars with 12 degree turns on my ltr, the clutch cable was long enough, the throttle cable is too short, no comment on the brake lines (I changed to steel braded at the same time) and the parking brake was too short (took it off).
I made my own brake lines- bought everything from Amazon Hose in Tampa, no worries about ordering the wrong length or anything else, and all the fittings are re-useabe

if ya have to order new cables, order directly from Motion Pro, they normally have the exact replacement part. (although my throttle is on back order til Sept)

Waiting on my Fuel ATV +1 stem for my LTR...going to run Tag CR hi bend bars. I'll update if the cables reach when I install it.

I like the idea of making the custom cables. Can you pick a color or is it just black.
