well a friend borrowed my quad today and rolled it pretty bad
smashed front rack,busted up front fenders,smashed bars, bent brake levers,broken speedo mount,and some other stuff
my questions are.....is there a pkace anyone would recomend to get parts, and i had to loosen the bar clamps to lift the bars back up but now to steer straight i have to turn them about 1/3 of the way right. the tie rods are straight and air pressure in the tires are the same.

Hehe i bet He wont be riding your quad for a while. If I were u, i would remove the racks and try to straighten them, b/c its about 80 dollars for a new front rack! Second, the steering sounds major. Either the steering stem has been bent, or the handlebar mounts or something. If the tie rods and ends r straigt, thats the first thing I would check.
Good Luck

1st rule of ATV's..No one rides your machine..
2nd rule..rule #1 is ALWAYSright!

 

Have Fun!! I'm replacing my steering stem right now.

 

Sorry if this is off topic.
Hey Steelhead650. What do you think of the Perfex lift kit? How much lift did it give you? Do you find the higher center of gravity to be a problem?
Thanks
R.

 

well got her torn down and the stem is straight and all the connections to the tie rods are tight it was only bent bars.....whew
well thankfully the only people i let ride my toys have enough money to buy a new toy if need be
but he is lucking because i am not charging him any labor only parts

 

also i remember from a post awhile back for a napa hose part #to use for the air intake any leads?

 

Wood: I think you should replace any steering parts you had to straighten... if not now, tommorrow will do. Also make look at your rims, they might of got some of that nasty bending action.

 

i let a neigbors friend ride my 400 4X4 prairie and he wadded it up.
cost me 500$ to fix. i thought it was only rack damage. NOT! he did buy the new rack,which ended up being 150$. only my kid,family, and close friends ride now......
