Default p650 aftermarket racks?

Well, I rolled my machine and my front rack is pretty bad. Do you guys know a good place to get some new aftermarket racks? Preferably stronger racks than stock.

thanks for any info.!

We made our own front and rear bumpers for the atvscene 650. What ever you do, don't run without the front rack cause it also acts as a support for the upper shock mounts! We removed both the front and rear racks at first but have since modified the front rack and put it back on but not before we had bent both shock mounts and broke both struts. Hard and expensive lesson!

Check the steering stem closely. They bend VERY easily. It DID land on the bars, right? They most always do.
I did $4628.00 damage to mine last Oct 27. Rolled 10 times down a mountain.

Well let's just say Bear Claws don't stop on a dime when racing on concrete! I ran our of road and flipped over the curb and down a grassy hill. I must have left a 50 yard skid mark on road. I don't think I will be racing on roads again any time soon. I'll just stick to the trails![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

trx

I was accually really lucky. It did a coplete roll in the air, clipped the ground on the front left quarter and landed on the tires.

I know it could have been a lot worse.

Just be patient![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The p650 has enough power to climb a tree. And anything with that much power will eventually cantch you off guard.

Sure is a fun machine though!
