ClaudeMachining Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Soooooo, it happened fast, I was getting out of a corner in a sand pit, was spinning a lot like usual, i shifted from 2 to 3 gear on a small slope and the shee bite me in the ass, pretty simple. I did kind of a wheelie, grab bar saved my ass, but I went on the ground sideways. When I fell, I was not going fast but the left side got kind of stuck in the dirt and the bike stopped pretty quick. I didn't have any injuries, not even a scratch, was just a little bit sore in the neck . But I bent some stuff. Handle bar, left tie rod and balls joints, upper left a-arm, left light bracket and a dent on my right pipe (probably a kick with my heel when falling) Where do you get your tie rod end?? Can I order a upper left arm only, or I should order a complete left side or a complete new set??? I will try to work on the bent pipe, there is several ways to do it. In the worst case, I will send it to Arlan this winter. Thx.  Envoyé de mon SM-G965W en utilisant Tapatalk  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialblend07 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Wow, I'm amazing only in 2nd gear that much damage could occur.  I local welding shop could help with the pipe I'd assume. They can cap the ends then blow some compressed air in  Everything else I'd buy new, the a-arm stuff call Roll Design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastnline75 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Thats crazy for that Roll arm to bend from a 2nd gear wheelie.

locogato11283 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Fuck those expensive ass arms. Buy cheap, they ALL bend. I just put Alba on the SE bike. They look good and feel just as heavy duty as the Laegers they replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't justify the $$$ on Roll or other expensive brand after seeing the Alba LT arms.. The welds look good, they feel solid and they are half the price. I've already launched them off some terraces at our farm and at the local hillclimb. Good to go. The only thing I didn't like was the crap powdercoat, so I had my local guy redo them.

That's the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastnline75 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Rather look good and stare at it in the shop than ride mine. Stays cleaner that way.
