Does anyone know if a handle bar cross bar is made for the rancher 420? I want to mount a cel phone holder directly above the speedometer. Maybe a cup holder too lol. And I have no room with the winch switch and all. Anyone know of a cross bar that links both sides together?

I have done the cross bar on a few of my ATVs for mounting GPS , everyone I done is different , I never did find a direct , made for it , bolt on bar , they are all homemade ----one is made from a Yamaha 700 Raptor crossbar


Pics: the blue 300 is a Raptor 700 crossbar with a little bit of modification , the red 300 is a universal turnbuckle type crossbar for about $8 off e-bay , I just used the bar clamps and didn't use the turnbuckle , which you can see is on the seat ---- another way to do it is to use mirror clamps

I added one KIND of like fishes, i have yet to finish the plate going on top , I'm using mine to hold my emergency radios (fire dispatch) at hands reach.

Got the idea thanks to fish.

Wilson , you can do away with the turn bucket , just use the two clamps , put a piece of aluminum angle iron across the two clamps and it will make mounting brackets much easier dealing with a flat surface , than a round ---

your turn bucket is heavy duty compared to the one I had gotten , you can see it on the seat of the red 300 , it was lite weight

Remember..... (this is important) Handle bars are made and designed to flex in certain places, some bars you can fit cross bars to and some you can’t. Fitting a cross bar can in fact weaken the handle bars and result in disaster.. Renthal make bars for Honda ATV’s, Pro Taper probably do too, drop them an email and see what they have to say.

I’ve seen a dreadful accident at an MX (dirt bike) event where the right side handle bar sheered at the cross bar, turns out the guy fitted the cross bar to a set of bars that shouldn’t have had a cross bar mounted to. 18 weeks in hospital and never being able to ride again was the end result.

Thanks fish. Just need more time to finish it up...lol

Thanks Sam i don't have the turn buckle pushing, or pulling on the bars..... I had a friend pushing down on my bars when i added this... When i mash on the handle bars i can see, feel slack at the cross bar hinge bolts.

I'll check that site out!

I would think the fitment.and non fitment of crossbars is more of an issue on alloy handle bars as alloys tend to work harden and crack in stressed areas. Don’t hold me to that though lol.

Thanks guys. I figured it would have to be custom made. On the 420 I have a large gauge cluster. I can’t go straight across like those. It would have to raise above first.
