Default Raptor A-arm destroyed

I was out today with five of my friends on a beautiful 45 degree day and the second hour of riding I'm done for the day. Moving along in first and I hit second pulling a wheely for a good distance when I lose momentum and the back end comes done and the grab hits. The bike comes down throws me off (I'm ok) and the my Raptor is lying completely upsidedown. I roll her over and then look at the right side and it's time to call a friend and get me home.

Bent A-Arms

Dang. That's bent!

If it's just the tops get the Ricky Stator replacements or find two upper stock used a-arms on ebay. I bought one last week at $31. Got lucky though. Usually they sell around $65-70 each.
