That's too bad. My buddy rolled his hard and bent his steering stem and bars too but luckily that was all he bent not nearly as bad as yours i'd go with roll design but im not sure where you can get the best deal. good luck

I'm also sorry, I hate to hear about any fellow quad rider having an accident. If you're like me you're just sick over your quad and not worried about yourself but I hope you're o.k. Just remember you can always get that thing fixed but if you're out of commision yourself then you defintly can't get that quad fixed. Good luck.

When did you do this cause I was there this past weekend 30 May-1 Jun, the only crash we heard about was a dude on a sandrail that jumped off a dune and compressed his back. He was taken to the hospital. Anyway sorry about your wreck, have fun with the new parts.

I was doing a steep hill climb and my z400 flipped back over me and not only rolled down the hill but also started to bonce 4 feet in the air as i watched pieces fly everywere. i bent my axle, all four rims, demolised myhandle bars. ripped my back plastic off and bent my front right spindle. My z has been in the shop for 3 month and im paying about $1000. But in the long run i guess it was cool becuase i got a rad durablue axle and nice aluminum rims.
