I was riding with my wife & kids about 20 minutes ago & slammed into a rather large tree that was on the ground. I was traveling between 35-45 mph, I think. I couldn't see it due to it being covered with grass. It looked like just another hill. Anyway, they said it was the coolest crash they've ever seen because the bike just stopped in its tracks & I went flying over the handlebars for about 20 feet before I hit the ground & slid to a stop. We don't think my right leg is broken, but it sure does hurt from where it hit the right handlebar. Oh well, part of having one, right.

I bent my left front rim so bad that it only makes 1/2 turns before it binds up against the ball joint looking thing on the top. I had to ride a wheelie the whole way home just to get back.

I also bent the lower left front a-arm pretty bad.

Everything else looks ok. It idles rather high now, but I think a quick carb clean with some 91 octane will cure that. Slid sticking, I think.

Where can I get these parts for cheap. They only need to get me by for a couple months.

I have a 05 YFZ 450SE & am not really in a position to purchase all new rims & a-arms right now. But, when I am, is it worth getting the extended a-arms?

Thanks in advance........

look on ebay, and post the parts you need on the okc and tulsa craigslist

and the extended a-arms depend on what kind of riding you do

Average everyday riding in the feild behind the house. Trail riding on the weekend.

Here are some local salvage yards, I'm sure you could find something there, or post about it at your local craigslist. You can always go cheaper locally.

I just got extended a-arms and love it.

Stock pArts go dirt cheap on eBay.

Extended a-arms help more with motocross. If your trail riding its probably best to keep the stock travel, or +.5 a-arms if you really want extended arms.

I just didn't know what the benefit of the extended is. Wider stance = won't turn as sharp????? Also, if I do go with the +.5, will I need to purchase new tie rods, brake lines & ball joints? Thanks in advance
