That sucks dude. Hope you recover well.
PS: this is for smithy. Trying to clone your self by planting your head in the red centre will not work. You need to plant your other red head in the wet centre to get a clone. Good luck.

Ouch indeed, finally got to pick up the quad yesterday from our property.

Rear Frame borked


Right lower A arm equally as borked


Headlights have been knocked about, handle bars look bent (not sure yet)

As for me, only 1 arm was broken (right), and now have a lovely plate screwed into the bones just above my wrist.

Did a check of OEM parts prices on a USA site, wow that rear frame is costly, wondering whether it can be welded?

Ah well such is life.
