I think the stem debate has been answered ...

 

[djvolume]

At my Fav. track Sat. (practice) -- 65' table. Some spectators said I ended up side-ways. After the landing and a bounce -- my left rear wheel caught -- I bailed to the left, pushed the quad to the right.
They said the bike and I slid and tumbled about 3 times for about 60'. Knocked me unconcious for about 3-5 mins. My back was scraped and bruised. I left on a back-board in an ambulance. After several x-rays and a CT scan.... Miraculously NO broken bones. Just beat. Feels like someone hit my butt/lower back with a baseball bat. Neck is Really sore. BUT no major damage. Thank God for watching over me.

So my stem is shot. Was debating on getting one from FUEL anyway. Won't start -- no power at all.
Haven't had a chance to look at it. Could this be the tip-over switch ?????

All you guys be careful -- I have hit that same jump -- 100's of times. Just takes once.

Thanks Bro'.

I told junkie last week ... "I am just going to wait until I bend this one" --- I didn't mean this way -- this soon either.

I am feeling MUCH better.

Why don't you work out some calculations on what you can do to get these ATV BENDs to sit lower.
Then PM me.

Send me the stem and complete clamp kit you are using. Then i can make a custom stem 1/2 inch lower, or whatever you want. New stem will come with new clamps ........ i think a stock length stem with ATV bend bars will be PERFECT. This stem will be ALOT stronger then stock, but when you crash something has to give.

I can't believe you missed the "difference" thread ---
I threw one in for ya --
when Steve said -- "a yellow is a white that pissed itself when it hit 4th"
I almost lost it -- best laugh in awhile.

Wasn't that nice of them -- I wonderful reminder of..... I still don't know what the F### happened.
I remember accelerating hard towards the jump...a flash of pushing the quad and bailing.... then coming to.

Hopefully I won't have anymore pics. like that for awhile.
