check around, especially ebay, you can get a frame for around 250-400. Make sure and get a nice one (and reinforcing it would be a good idea!).
If yours isnt too too bad, you could try and straighten it.
You should work your Arse off to get extra $$$ to buy the frame, do small jobs and anything possible for $, the addiction will help out and will make it worthwhile (which it is).
Good luck dude!
ps, do you have any injuries what so ever??? Dam your lucky!

glad you are ok, thats the important thing. it could have been worse, i'm sure you know that. just keep makeing those payments and when you get the $, get a new frame. anything is fixable with time.

check servicehonda.com or the back of atv magazines for used parts listings for your frame.

I agree with the others. Turn you tradgedy into your opportunity, save up and bring her back to life better than ever! My younger bro-in-law crashed a friend of his quad into a tree a few years ago, he ended up finding a little local shop that let him do s**t work in exchange for the repairs. You may or may not be able to create a similar situation in your area.

Just a suggestion.
Good Luck,
Jason

A brand new stock 300ex frame is $890.10 from Service Honda. I can't believe that a 300ex frame is more expensive than the 400ex frame and subframe combined :eek:

Good luck man, and be thankful you didn't get seriously injured.

Ya you are lucky, I got hit by a truck at about the same speed. I got a bent frame, bent a-arm, cracked plastic, and a broken leg w/ a rod put in it.:D

Like the other guys said check ebay and the Classified section on exriders. I wouldn't pay more than $325.

hey sorry man. damn get that honda fixed ASAP. don't want anyone to rag on your honda. if they do kill them! not to get off topic but i remember me and my dad on his polaris when we had one, and we were going up this huge *** hill. there was like a step up and i stoped. bad thing to do! hit the gas and the thing flips and i roll away to the right and look back and see the quad rolling over my father. scary thought on what could of happened. not much do to the PO PO. those things are strong. oooppss i got way off topic

Ive crashed on the road before because of completely bald tires, i know that it was stupid, only because i was going to fast for a turn and went off the road and broke my collar bone... I rode home and went to the hospital to avoid any contact with others, but i know how it is to do something so stupid and wish you could go back and change it.......Good luck!:(

i got hit by a f350 extended cab long bed yesterday when i was standing with my helmet on

didn't hear him. he was prob doing about 10mph.

i had my back turned towards him so i couldn't see him coming, he was reversing and his quad was in the back, i was a foot away from being run over, the impact knocked the air out of my lungs and dislocated my shoulder again.

i put it back in and went riding for about 3 hours,

i hate when this ish happens and i feel for ya

We'll, that would be the prefered way, but in all seriousness start detail cleaning cars. Thats what I do on the weekends as a second job. I can do a truck/car in about 6-8 hrs and get $55-65 for one car (thats actually kinda cheap for one hellava cleaning!).
Start-up is about $80 worth of materials, but do 2 cars (one weekend) and your set!
