Default Tierods for a Raptor?

This weekend i was riding at Shiloh Ridge. We had a blast but a Drunk ATVer ruined my run. He was on a HUGE 4X4 Rincon and Hit me head on throwing me into a ditch. Im ok didnt get hurt but it busted up the front end of my bike, Mostly the tierod on the left side. Whats a decent tierod for a good price???

Thanks
Travis

Check with Alba. They have tie-rods that are made for serious desert and MX racing that can take some good abuse. heres the site.....www.albaaction.com...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I've had really good luck with the Ricky Stator tie rods / ends. The stock ends are very weak and cost $50 ea from the dealer. The complete set-up from RS is $200 - well worth it - IMO

I think even an aftermarket tie rod would have been bent in that situation. We keep a few tie rods around when we are riding for those "Oops" times. Seems to me like I would rather replace a six dollar tie rod than something else more expensive to replace. If you need a stronger tie rod to say finish a race in the desert then there are some good strong ones out there, but if your like me, a recreational rider then I would recommend the cheap stock tie rods. My 02 cents
