i bought this a few months back and threw some tires, wheels, and exhaust on it and have been riding it alot. on to the pic and quick story from today. so my buddy wanted to go to tsf today to ride we rode for about 4 hours and were going down hoodraiser a little ways down the trail i was jumping some whoops i went to slow down because i was going a little too fast but.. it didnt slow down somehow it went full throttle right before a nice downhill section with a big bump at the top. long story short full throttle off the hill, jumped about 30 feet and endoed hitting the front left tire drug me about another 30 feet under it overall it was a good day except for the brute force needing alot of work now and alot of road rash and digging gravel out of my back and of course my sweet burnout mark on my back since it was stuck full throttle .  |

yea it got alot worse feeling yesterday but nothings broke so ill be good. now its time to do some custom work and upgrades. i am going to build some new stronger racks for it with some gun racks and ammo boxes mounted to them for more storage, fix the frontend, add a winch, and a few more things as i go. possibly some more power upgrades like a chip and intake

i finally have it fixed for the most part. but the camber in the front end seems really messed up. and its about time to build some heavy duty racks for it.

depending on what is wrong with the frame you could take it to a decent body shop and they should be able to put it on a frame rack and pull it back to atleast near normal..

Play tough-a-war with 2 rigs on it would be cheaper....just don't over do it.

I would take it to "Extreme Preformance" In Hillsboro (503-597-3809) Bryan is the owner, Mike is a Banchee GURU. Tell them you know me (Rusty) and they should give you a good cheap quote to get it fixed. They seem ALOT cheaper then Candy at Hillsboro Motosports, just not as cute.. |

It doesn't have to be 100% on. Also the $49 Harbor Freight 3000 LB winch would be a good cheap winch for it, and it's wireless. Easy to mount/unmount.. Best of luck. |
