ok so i was out riding today with my friend and i was chasing him. He went down a narrow creek bed and thats when it happend. he has a raptor 350 so its a lot narrower than my ds. well to make a long story short my front left tire dug into the side of the creek bed wall and snapped the tie rod and popped it out of the ball joint. when that happend the tire turned side ways and it literally catipulted me over the handlebars. i was mid way thrue third gear when it happend at wide open throttle. so i did a superman and as i landed i see the ds doing a forward flip in the air and comming at me. it landed on top of me and facing the opposite direction but i got lucky because it left a little space for my legs lol. so my ds is down. only damage is a broken tie rod and i broke my front break lever. so anybody know where i can pick up the parts cheap? ill post a video later. thanks everyone.

 

i had 2 lose tie rod ends when i added wider a arms . i picked up 4 off ebay . so i have one left , one right thread. as well as 2 straight rods. i will let go cheap, let me know exactly what you need. if your interested send me a pm. i caught a root driving in the dark, did the same thing, just was'nt going that fast. so all i got was a sore ***, from landing on the creek bed. lol

 

ok well i found a wrecked traxter 500 and got the tie rods off of it for 10 bucks and installed them. took bike out for ride and it rode like its old self exept the steering stem is a little bent. i dont think it warrents me replacing it yet but is there a way to try and straight it out? Also im thinking about selling my ds. Kinda want something lighter. Live in oklahoma.

also just got a replacement front brake lever in.

 

Gald to here that your alright, you can always check ebay, or the garage thread.

Happy safe riding
