Steering Stem Idea???
Due to constant bending of the stock steering stem on my 400, Im thinkin about cutting the stem off at the top and at the bottom, getting a piece of solid steel and welding the top and bottom back on??? Gonna add about 8 lbs of weight but I figure it'll be tough to bend that solid??? Anyone tried this yet, if so how'd it go??? Someone told me I'd have to get the solid steel to exactly the same size as the stocker....Like within a .001. :devil

You could probably go ahead and do this mod, but do 1 thing first, Start saving your money becuase you are goin to have to buy a new frame when you bend it instead of your stem. Good luck.

:blah
I HAVE A BETTER IDEA, TAKE YOUR STEERING STEM OFF AND SLIDE A BIGGER PIECE OF PIPE. YOU MAY NEED TO DO SOME WELDING, THEN IT WILL LAST MUCH LONGER. WHEN I DID IT I THINK IT ADDED ABOUT 4 TO 5 POUNDS

I did the same thing you are taik about. But i use
1.5 tubing from the 1.125 to retube the stem. I also narrow it down to the 1.125 at the bushing. It came out real nice but like someone else said U are going to break your frame. Now my frame is crack. also I think it's too stiff because I have more arm-pump. I'm going to redo my.

Jhallet, I'll set up a cot and TV for you in my garage so you can keep an eye on how I work on my quad. I sure as **** dont want to get a "TOLD YA SO"!
In lieu of the legal minimum wage required, would you accept VP race gas in lieu of conventional pay?

FATBOY......You just keep workin on your own, I havent seen all to many mistakes form you yet, and I wouldn't give you a "TOLD YA SO," becuase you would come over and sit on me. Besides your wife would like me to much and want to keep me around longer than you would like to imagine. Oh, and on the minimum wage requirement, I make $50.00/hr, How much do you make?
