This bumper is in my opinion the best quality bumper on the market today. It fits perfectly with no prebending of the mounts like the AC bumpers. The welds are what you'd expect from Jesse James ( absolutley Perfct ). They are bit pricey but the quality is worth every penny.

Can you post some pictures? I want to see what it looks like on a 450r.

Sure i will try and get soem tomorrow for ya.

how heavy is that thing??

Dunno exactly but it feels lighter than the AC mud screen I took off??

8

, thats cool. I just heard they were heavy. <_<

Its very small compared to the AC bumpers if that helps you get an idea. It really is very light.

Damn Corey, that thing look sweet

Thanks Boone.

i heard it blocks alot of air to your radiator for XC riders..thats wh yI went with my jaws bumper

No problems here but I have the OMF shrouds so I really cant say if it would cause a cooling issue?


8

Everytime I see that bumper, I want to buy it. Did you polish the bumper or is that how it came?

I came out of the box just as you see it .

I dont think Jesse James welded each one personally. I think the iron cross is a little to trendy if you ask me. I wouldnt put it on my bike, but to each their own.

So Jesse James "invented" the iron cross? Go suck rocks. Look at WWII...

You guys are funny, dont get your panties in a bunch, its my opinion, im not gonna come on here and say "oh that's cool, sweet bumper dude" when I really dont like it. Bling Star reproduced the iron cross that Jesse James is famous for, that doesnt mean there's any affiliation. The iron cross has been around for some time, Jesse is just coming up off it cause he has a million other ppl like yourself promoting it. Put them on Harleys, not quads, there's another opinion for you buddy. Go swallow rocks since that's what you do.

Nothing in a bunch here . Personaly I dont care if you like the bumper or not and you are intitled to your own opinion. I just dont see how Jesse got all wrapped up in this, the bumper has nothing to do with WWC I simply said the welds were as nice as Jesse's b because the welds are sweet and Jesse is a master welder . Make what you want out of it i guess.

PS rocks are hard on teeth i would imagine :wacko: .

This obviously was a big misunderstanding. "The welds are what you'd expect from Jesse James ( absolutley Perfct )." I thought you were implying (check spelling) that Jesse had a part in the fabrication of the bumpers. All that should matter is that you are happy with your bumper.

"made in mexico"

There is a Mexican Jesse James too???? :wacko: ???




Just Playin, 8

perfect welds...huh...I like the dude personally but the weld on the bikes in his shop at Long Beach I though were shotty. He probably could have taken more time but then it wouldn't be art. B)

Really? When I was in Charolotte NC for the Nextel All Star race they had one of his bikes there and it had some of the BEST welds I had ever seen. I also looked at OCC's Snap-On bike down there and the welds were VERY shotty but the paint was secound to none.

Could be. I should have said that I was at West Coast Choppers - Long Beach in the mid '90's when he wasn't so much a celeb. The original Diablo bike was used and looked pretty rough. However, I went to the Detroit Auto Show and OCC had their Lincoln bike there. I really looked close at that bike. That bike was a work of art and I'm not such a big fan of OCC like I use to be. Too much air time. And in my opinion I think Jesse is a sell out. I know the dude wants to make money (who doesn't) but he shouldn't have his merchandise sold at Wal-mart. Cool dude though....

its a nice bumper, but i had to cut the mounting arms down a bit and reposition the mounting holes because it partialy blocked the stock headlights

Well the bling star bumper comes in black. Or polished Aluminum. I got mine for $80. regular is like $100. Bumper Offers great protection. When blingstar puts "Moto Cross minded" they mean it. It Blocks the stock headlights totally. When you turn on the lights the reflection hits you back in the eye. Other than that this is one unique looking bumper. that was one of the reasons i bought the blingstar. Bumper blocking radiator?? Hmm wont do any damage.

Seems like it would be a little hard to pick up on to me. Not much room for grip.
Dunno though. Only XC race I've seen was the Ironman here in Indiana. Some of the ruts they made coming out of the creek was deep and you had to lift the bike up a ways if you got stuck.

since this thread is going in different direction. can anyone tell me exatcly what the iron cross stands for?

As you can see from my picture below I use the Iron Cross Bumper, very nice bumper, its not too heavy...I run XC seems to work fine for me.....I don't get stuck a lot or block air flow
