I was riding on my homebuilt moto x track today. By the way I have Carlisle stryker rear mud tires on the back. I cleared my double worked the clucth some in 3rd to get it to sliding in the curve but i came in a little high and i got about 6inches off the track and into the grass and bang over she went.I was doing about 35mph and i just flew off. The quad rolled 4 times. My brother was on the straightaway across from me and he said that on the 2nd flip it went straight up and the rear tires were about 3 feet off the ground. All it did was twisted the handle bars back but they aren't bent down a lot just about 1/2 inch. I like them better. Well there's one other problem.The left wheel and a arms are lower to the ground but the shocks are the same length. NOTHING is bent and the shocks are fine. The bottom of the tire is pointed in a little too. So i got back out there cleared the double again and then looked at the shock and arms and they were perfect. Last year i flipped my honda 200sx over doing about 5 mph and it just rolled on the handlebars, but the bars were bent around the gastank. The sx didn't weigh but a little bit more than the 230. I just think the suki's bars are stronger.
