Broke the stearing shaft on my 05 Predator while climbing hills. (lil to much throttle at the end of the climb she flipt over backwards) wondering if there is a solid/stronger shaft. or do you think i can get this warrentied? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] its worth a try.
the main rod/shaft whatever you wanna call it that connects the handle bars to the front tires in order to stear.

 

It is call steering stem or steering post. Part number 1822684-385 for $150. If you feel yoy will do it again, upgrade to a anti vibe stem. They are running around $300.

 

Thanx for the info. I just order this from Lone Star racing. Happy to see i could have it taller since i was thinking of getting a rizer for it. Does this look like a good deal?

as far as the stock post goes... they are kinda weak.

 

Steering stems hold up better if you "Keep the rubber side down!" :-)

 

but its so much more fun with the rubber up. hurts more costs alot more... but hey you get great storries. Kinda wierd to have to start the story with out saying " we where drinking and ........"
