Default Went over the bars, Rap now in pieces HELP!

I hit an jump last night HARD great balance, beautiful landing, BUT the wheeler sank into the snow and dead stopped. I didn't! went through the bars instead. Now I need Handle bars(looking at Renthal, and Tag T2 there is an X Bar on e-bay don't know who makes it ANY GOOD?) radiator(do they make an aftermarket or performance?) A-Arms I'm getting Swytak +2+1, shocks looking at Elka's(any opinions?) I'm going to go with a twist throtle as well(whats good and whats better) and maybe a hydrolic clutch. I am trying to get this all together in the next day or two its going to kill me not being able to ride.

Thanks

good luck finding an aftermarket radiator.

Denton racing is the only place i can find, and they cost 400$

Twist throttle- motion pro CR twist, it's the slowest ratio and is still a little fast. You'll also need new grips(motorcycle not atv)

Youll need motorcycle grips b/c the diameter of the right handle will change w/ the installation of a twist throttle. Dont worry about having trouble finding bike grips b/c for every 1 atv there is 15 bike grips. The tag T2 bars are good from what ive seen.

be careful getting used to the twist or you'll be buying more parts.

I decided to go with the Tag T2 Bars, Motion Pro Twist Throttle, I got the Trail-tech bar clamp I like the billet. I also got a 12 and 14 tooth sprockets to play around. I want to get Elka's but they are so expensive. Anything else I should do while the bike is totally apart? I am thinking about opening the head to check the rings, then if I do I will have to put in a high comp piston. Let me know what you all think

I had the Pro Motion twist throttle and didn't like it. Every time I would go throw some whoops or jumped I would hit the gas. I don't think I was used to it. I like the thump throttle better.I think you more control. They are very sensitive aslo.

the stock bars are only like $25, and if you hunt around, say get a atv mag and look at the recyclers, youll find a rad.
