Default Flipped The X

Coming down a trail, I flipped my X. It landed hard on the handlebars, enough to bend the top of the steering column. After bending the bars to be able to ride back home, the bike seemed to track straight. Is there something else I should look at? Any other items that should be replaced? Most of the other damage was cosmetic.

Just makes you sick looking at it doesnt it. Mine was on the bars 2 times within 4 months of owning it.

might as well get it out of the way quick so you can get some new lighter ones.

Check your box support bar and the headlight brackets.That is what got bent on mine.
Tvi has the best prices on replacement.Sucks looking at the damage.

So no other areas I should be concerned about?

Check your steering stem. Rotate it and make sure that your new bars track right. You can also check the alignment of your tires before you do any high speed runs. Like sandman said, better to do that on the stock bars and get it out of the way before you move onto better looking and more expensive custom ones.
