So I was making a right hand corner and got hit hard in the right front wheel by a dirt bike, bars jolted hard enough to toss me from the quad, after getting up and making sure everyone was OK, I noticed my handle bars were turned to the right with the wheels stright, I thought the bars were bent, until I drove it. the quad drives in a stight line but the steering stem where the bars mount in canted to the right, the tie rods, spindles, and pitman arm look ok, that leaves the stem, anybody ever twist a stem, or does the top(where the bars mount spin)?, I'll get it apart this weekend and hopefully know for sure, just curious if its a common proplem.

 

sorry boss, she's bent, no moving parts. I got a stock one I'd sell for $40. I bought a Lonestar +1" & it has taken some goods hits & hasn't bent yet. Cost me about $320 I think? Anyway, I bought it w/out knowing it was +1" & found out it is easier to ride with when standing up. The down side is you have to rearrange the throttle cable & choke cable to prevent engagement since they don't have any slack when uisng the +1". I wish someone would make longer throttle cables.

 

I was considering a roll design stem, but I may consider your stock one, I'll have to see what my wallet tells me when i send for one.

 

The teeth are bent on the shaft. Best to get a new shaft for like $100.

lots of tutorials online.
