I posted this on Nyroc's forum, but thought I should add it here to see if anyone has any suggestions.

Well, I went and did it. Due to my inexperience with ATVs and the sheer fun factor of my Brute, I got a little carried away and tried to climb a really big, loose hill. Got about 8 ft. from the top, lost momentum and the rear wheels started to dig in. I knew she was going over, so I wisely(?) bailed and rolled to the left to get out of the way! I came out unscathed, but the big Brute went end-over-end twice before landing on all four feet like a cat and rolling the rest of the way down the hill. Bent the stem(?) to the handlebars down a ways, which was easy enough for a buddy and I to bend back, but my LCD has a big crack diagonally through it. I'm guessing this may be a dealer-only item, but I just thought I'd check to see if any of you know of any better (read cheaper) suggestions?

By the way, my buddy took a couple runs at the hill with his Grizz after watching all of this go down (literally!), and made it. Then he wouldn't let me leave until I gave it another shot - said I needed to re-gain my confidence (although my "new" confidence is a little wiser now). Took it with a little more speed and made it up. Sorry for the long post!

 

Go to ronayers.com with the kawi part number.

 

Thanks, therock. I looked at their online microfiche, and it appears that both of the items I need are "unavailable". Looks like a great website though and is sure to save me some trips to the dealer in the future!

 

farginicehole,(great name)The bastages over ats Cycle-parts.com have it: 1,pt# 16146-0011 , COVER-ASSY,UPPER $25.90. I have used this company and had a good experience!!M/M.

Thanks Mulahatmaguiver (it's gonna require some thought to figure that one out!), I'll check with those bastages when I get a chance. Those farging corksuckers at the dealership have my bells in a sling! Anyways, I think that part number you quoted is just the outer lens, which I do need. Unfortunately though, I need the entire LCD display, as it also has a crack down the the middle of it. You can only see the top part of the speed display, and some of the other stuff isn't working. I'm guessing that little piece is gonna cost me at least a couple C notes. . . .

 

Okay, I looked up the part number 25031-0034. Did a search for a price and now I have to go change my shorts. . . . $558.69!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
