Ok, I was trying to climb a small but kinda steep little hill today and wound up laying the quad over ... didn't "roll" it so to speak, you could say it did a "half roll" back down the hill over upside down ... it wasn't even like that hard of a roll because I kinda cusioned it ....

Anyways, I righted the thing and hopped back on it, and the handlebars were outta whack on it ..

Got it home and took the front body panel off and started looking things over, and it looks to me like the crown on the steering post is bent...

Are these things really that weak ....? I'm not kidding I've wrecked freaking mountain bikes worse than this and they came off scott free ....

Is this a common problem? I know it seems like there is a plethora of aftermarket steering posts available for these things so I guess I was wondering if this is a known weakness on this quad, and who makes a stronger one?

 

lonestar, burgard, roll design, walsh, leager, houser, ASR and many others make chromoly anti-vibe stem. buy one

 

I don't suppose anyone has a picture of the Lonestar stem that's supposed to have the 1" forward placement do they?

That + a 2" rise seems like it would be nice ...
