Well, this last weekend my wife and I had a blast at Sand Mt NV. The sand was perfict, and the 450R was pulling the sand nicely.
I did manage to pull off some massive air, totally by accident! On the first night, I was flying along in 4th gear, and missed judged the top of the dune. I flew somwhere between 80-100 feet in the air, and no idea of hight. I actually managed to land this one!
Now for the disaster of the 450R. My wife fell in love with it, so she was riding it. We were on one of trails that go up to the memorial site, and she caught a rock with one of the paddles. It flipped back on to the rear grab bar, sat there for a few seconds, and then flipped over backwards onto my wife. She is ok, just a big bruise on her ribs.
With this little flip, the grab bar managed to get ripped off the quad, tearing the LED tail light in many peices. The rear plastic got a rather large chunk taken out of it by the grab bar. The exaust tip got a slight bend into it, and the front brake handle broke off right at the m/c.
So now on a really tight buget I need to get the R back looking good. I am planning on making a new grab that hopefully take more than one light wreck. Does anyone have the LED taillight that they would part with? How about the brake handle peice that is attatched to the master cylinder, and that the lever attaches to?
Thank You for your time!
