I took a good spill this weekend. I hit a bump or rut on the face of a jump and somehow my hand slipped off the throttle. Well we all know what happens when you let off the throttle. I did a few flips end over end. Im pretty banged up myself and heres the damage to the 450

Toed out problem here :confused:

That sucks...I happened to wreck sunday at my race, i cased the landing of a jump and hit the launch of another jump and it threw me off and my quad went one way and i landed on my feet somehow. Didnt do nothin to my quad though so that was the good thing.

You're really lucky man. Could've been a lot worse. everything else still looks pretty straight. Not sure about the lower a-arm. Hard to tell from the angle of the pics. New tie rods are pretty cheap from service honda. They're only like $8.

Atleast you are alright, I had a bad weekend too. Bent a tie rod like you did only opposite side, busted the bead on a tire, cracked the back fenders and ripped the seat cover, bent the heel guard and fender bracket also.
Oh, I did tear the crap out of a 300 4x4 too cutting trail, but it was almost gone anyway so no big loss, but I hated the 450, and I even hated ordering the parts even worse.
