this weekend i was out on my raptor riding some trail and hills. The last hill I hit there was a lip of dirt to the side and i clipped it and sent my front end flying up and tumbling backwards down the hill and in the process i bent my steerting stem so bad i cant turn left

If any one has a stock steering stem for sale let me know A.S.A.P. :help:

why spend $80 when your just going to wreck stem again or pitman? have a tricked chromed+1 antivibe stem that won't do that again!$200($300new)

I didn't like the increased length required for ALL aftermarket stems wtih antivibe clamps, even the supposed "stock length" ones. So I just used the ends from a bent stem and had a friend fab up a new chromoly body and piece them together.

I got a +1 stem with the antivibe clamps, like it, lets me use bars intended for dirt bikes. Much larger selection.

How easy do these things twist. Mine turns sharper one way than the other. The pitman is slightly crooked when the bars are straight. I went to move it over a spline on the shaft and it goes crooked the other direction. There is a small amount of play in the pitman, but not enough to ever get it straight.

Do these things twist?

they twist like a well worked hooker. Id rather pay for a replacement stocker than buy a stronger one and risk bending the frame or other really expensive part. What pisses me off is that the tie rod didnt bend when I twisted my stem....its less work to replace that. I thought about grinding the spline off, but it is already twisted (ie weak) and wouldnt want to chance a break....

its a good idea to keep a weak link somewhere....my new frame costed 600 bucks....and a lot of down time
