I overshot a double and bottomed out.. this is the result. :huh

I've seen the upper shock mount give a few times but never the bottom one. Has anyone seen this happen before?!?

I guess that's a good enough reason for a new front end. :D

Luckily the shock mount was jammed in there really tight so I was able to ride it home this way, it just took a little longer than usual :confused:

I found your problem...I think it was rebelling against that horrible sticker. Put a Honda sticker on there and you won't see anymore problems ;). :blah:

Same thing happened to mine, but it was not a complete break like that one. I just put a nice bead of weld on it and it has been fine for over 3 years.

I did order another lower arm just in case.....$35 from service honda complete with balljoint, seals, and bearings :huh It is still sitting in the bag :o

I didn't think it was that common of a problem!? :confused:

My jump wasn't that bad either but my front shocks are blown so I was kind of asking for it.

You really want to go with stockers again? Well I am going to jump my 37' double tonight, and I'll see if I can't break mine... I hope not.
