I am designing a stainless/aluminum grab bar that should hold up much better than any grab bar I have ever tested on a quad. If there is anyone interested in buying one you should post it here. They are super strong and I have never broken one yet through various amounts of testing. They are extremely strong! If you are interested and are willing to help me out I can start up a website selling these bad boys. I will try to get pictures up soon! If you are interested pictures are on my account. and you can contact me at jadenhennen@gmail.com
so far I have not damaged the sub frame from hitting the grab bar. the grab bar only bend up slightly once but still didn't break the subframe. This is from pulling wheelies and purposely hitting the back.
I am also thinking of making one with a built in license plate holder/ registration plate if anyone is interested in that? I know it can be a pain to mount registration numbers on these sport quads.
The point of using weaker (softer) materials is that they will deform and absorb energy so the important parts don't get damaged. Think of a car shell. Wheels, bumpers, engine, pannels all of that will become damaged and fall off in order to prevent damage to the inner structure. Same thing is with rear grab. You don't want a really tough one because the force will transfer forward and break or damage the next weakest thing which is probably sub frame or bolts that are holding it. Hit it enough times and you'll end up with a banana raptor. Just my opinion.

I'm considering getting a new grab bar for my raptor. Can you post some photos of the one you made. You can email me at svcrz@hotmail.com
