I have a 15 Xm T3 163. I bent the bars pretty good last season with my chest. Thanks chest protector.

What's the best aftermarket bars or should I stick with stock?

Is it an x or sp? If it's an sp I would change out the bars for sure. As for what bars that's up to you. Go hold some see what different bends feel like.

I have the same sled. I just replaced the stock x bar, twice now(oops), pretty reasonably priced at $85-90.

Aftrr blowing off outrr grip with air, heat gun coupla inches away from cork/elements, alum bar heats quickly, just peel away gently and slowly then install immediately on new bars. Ching pow. Will perform procedure in exchange for several inexpensive beers and a burnt hot dog

Busch is about as cheap as I will go for the beers, usually kokanee and I pride myself on my cooking prowess, the hot dog wouldn't be burnt. Hahaha. Thanks, I will give er a whirl. Cheers

I forgot to mention to make sure and note the black tape for the amount of wraps and how it was installed originally. I snapped a few pics as i went for reference during reinstall.

Thanks for all the responses. That pictures looks just like my bars. I'm going to pick up a set of stock bars for now. And shop around for bars at the Edmonton sled show
