Finally crashed the R good. What stem and axle to get?

[Sjorge450R]

i was out racing today and on the first lap, the frame bottomed out and i went flying over the bars. I can barley move my left leg (landed on it) and the quad cant steer. The stem is done so i need a new one. The axle also appears to be destroyed. I havent checked mainly cause i was so angry. I will get picks tomorrow but for now, what parts should I get? I need to keep it cheap. Considering im still paying the damn thing off...lol.

I have been looking at Houser +2 stems (im 6'1'' so i think that would be good) and the team firestick axles?

What do you guys recommend?

Houser Stem, RPM Axle. You can get the RPM XC axle with race hub for $350.

[N300exJ]

Houser +2 stem and leager axle

[patrickj75]

Rath stem and either an RPM or Lonestar axle. make sure the axle has a good warranty.

The last time I was on the Rath site I didn't see that they sold a +2 stem.

You can loose with RPM or LSR axles tho.
I didn't like my gforce much, didn't hold up.
My friend also just bent his lol.

[patrickj75]

Rath will do a +2 stem.

[TRX450RACER174]

Go for the +2 stem you will not regret it, I am also 6'1 and have a +2 as far as manufacturer get what you like, I have all LSR stuff and am very happy with it.

By the way hope you feel better.

The team firestick axles are a great choice, not many people use them, but they make top quality stuff.

The houser stuff is top quality as well. I'm 6'0" and have a +2 hermann, with CR highs and I finally feel after 3 years and dozens of setups, that this is the perfect sweet spot.

Really? Do u have to ask them to custom make it or is it something that they already keep on the shelf?
If I had known this I would of gotten one when I bought my Rath nerfs.

john listen to the man if you look at the sig hes sponsored by rath..... i would say youd be fine with the houser and lsr

[patrickj75]

if Rath doesn't have a +2 in stock i think they'll do one at no extra charge.

[stallionrr]

if you want to keep it cheap.. get a +2 stem from BURGARD for only $199 and a G FORCE 2+2 axle for $199.. thats the cheapest way to go.. i have both and ride hard.. never had any problems with either one..

[Sjorge450R]

well i went and ordered a burgard stem. Not sure on what axle yet maybe just a stock replacement. i will get a pic soon

[TRX450RACER174]

If you need a stocker i have one off of my 06, all i would ask from you is shipping and you can have it, let me know.

I just sent you a PM.

[Sjorge450R]

hmmm. I just putted down the street. Doesnt seem like the axle is bent. I will examine it tomorrow and then get back you to you.

Heres a pic. The pics dont do justice.

[Sjorge450R]

another.

[MX MaNiAc 06]

That stem is deffinately destroyed. haha Dont waste money on a stock axle. Get an RPM or LSR and keep the warranty card! It will be the last axle u ever buy. I broke an RPM n didnt even have a warranty card. They still hooked me up with a brand new one. I heard LSR is even nicer about it.
