I ran over a hidden stump and my Trail Blazer rolled over 1 complete time. After a few seconds of trying to figure out what had happened i got on my bike a noticed something was wrong!! The brace that hold the steering rod was all bent up. I wasn't going fast. No plastic was dmaged. The brake fluid resovoir was fine. the throttle box was fine. No broke levers. Why did they make such a heavy bike and such a wimpy bracket? Which, by the way, is WELDED to the frame. Can't just replace that!!

just take the quad to your local frame shop and the will be able to make it right again. my friend did the same basic thing to his honda and they fixed it for under $100

I got a saying that is perfect for now and future rides. "Roll a Trail Blazer once same on it, Roll a Trail Blazer twice shame on u!"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Hope ur Trail Blazer doesnt need a cast or a brace. Poor thing.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

"Why did they make such a heavy bike and such a wimpy bracket?"

I don't think they intended that bracket to hold the entire weight of the quad. You just have to realize if you roll a quad (any quad) you are most likely going to bend, break or damage something. I understand your frustration having something wrong with your quad. But be reasonable. Good luck.
