Roll Design steering stem = POS

[400exRacerX]

Well I just wanted to let all you guys know that I had a horrible day and bent my 350$ one week old steering stem. I'll never buy one again. Just a tip of advice for someone that was looking to buy one.

Norm:(

call who ever you bought it from and tell them how F***ing mad you are and ask them if they will give u a good deal with a new one or something

[Foxrage]

That would piss me off how did it happen?

[Tommy 17]

i think norm needs to learn how to ride:blah haha j.k man... i would call rolls or take it back to prompton honda and see what they will do about it...

[kabd69667]

I would think that they have some kind of warranty on them. I'm sure its not lifetime, but i would say atleast 30 days

[EX 80]

I just but stock ones they are only like $60

[400exRacerX]

Yeah I would too,,, But I'm tall and my backs hurts after riding for awhile with the stock stem.

[400exRacerX]

BTW what are your thoughts on bending it back??? Yay or Nay??

[QuadRacer041]

racerxwere did you ride today????
jack?

[400exRacerX]

No I ended up riding in the local sand pit.

[Tommy 17]

norm if u wanna keep a stock stem buy a 3/4 bar riser... or switch to renthals like i have... when i sat on ur quad and looked at it i swear my bars were 2 inches higher... mayb more... just an idea... i know u don't like renthal but its a cheap fix for u...

Id say no. It will make it weaker and it wont be perfectly straight like it was when you bought it. Just see bout the warranty and takin it back to where ever you got it. :cool:

i've tried to striaghten one and it will not happen. It will flex and if you get one part some what straight another part will have flexxed and bent while you were trying to straighten the original bend.

Now that would Suck. I would Call Roll or whoever you got it from and let it all out. They should give you your Money back or something. Should have got a Laeger Stem.

[400exRacerX]

Yeah I'm gonna give my dealership a call,,,,, they better do something about it considering the amount of money I spent that day (which was alittle over $1,300):eek:

[FullBore52]

dude..how did you manage to bend it already? BTW, this is Alky

[R-Crazy]

that must suck. get a refund and put your stocker back on. just get a tall bar mount and tall bars (like mine). i have the renthal ATV race bend. good luck

dave

You should be able to get it replaced I would think,,call the dealer and Roll Design and make somebody take care of your issue..that's BS it bent already..I won't go into my normal Roll design bashing..:D Sorry about the bad luck norm..:(

I Seen alot of roll front ends at a race yesterday and none of them are pro or anything so i finaly figured out y so roll can sponcer so much if there is this many in my area i couldnt imagine haw many in kentucky where more races are or northern ohio oe penn.

[nakomis0]

I did the exact same thing with my Arens.

Magics Racing wouldn't replace it, I was really pissed all I could get out of them was 'we'll sell you one at cost'. It was pretty crappy.

I did end up taking it to a machine shop and got it straightened. They took there time and did a real nice job. I have rolled it many times sense :D and its held up real good.

Maybe nexttime don't tighten your handlebars so tight. I roll my bike often and when its all over it the same routine ...pull the bars up, adjust some levers, admire my new scratches... and ride.

every scratch tells a story
