Went to Shiloh ridge in Alto, Tx and flipped my Sportsman on a steep hill. It crushed the bars and headlight assembly and broke a floor board. It sucks to break your toy! I think I broke my foot ( getting it X-rayed today).

Flipped mine about a month ago. Try e-bay for some replacement parts, I'm still replacing some of the more expensive parts over time to defer the cost.But she is up and running like nothing ever happened.

Foot is broken. Will be on crutches a few weeks. Has anyone heard of replacing a frame? The dealer is working on an estimate now to submit to the insurance company. I am glad I purchased the insurance.

I would assume they will have to buy a new frame from the Factory. Don't let the insurance company talk you into straightening the frame, it will never be the same and it creates weak points. Hope the foot heals well.
