XT bumper bent

[BrianE]

While out in the snow playing I accidentally slid head on into a pretty deep ditch hitting a small stump. Which of coarse bent the crap out of my bumper at the bottom and twisting it slightly. I know this stuff happens so I guess I will have to reinforce the cheesy bumper. I bet some one on here has done just that so I am looking for ideas. Pictures would be nice too.

It's a good thing that the bumper served as the week point or there would havebeen damage to more expensive parts.

I would like to see a nice aftermarket bumper, I have yet to see one other than the ac racing bumper, that bumper is nice but it doesn't serve a purpose for guys that don't race..... Sounds like the bumper did its job, the stock ones are not that expensive, try parker yamaha, cheap parts, site sponsor

BrianE, you playin' on the frame mod? :tg:

Some things do have to give. If not it will be a direct give on us which will probably hurt even more.

Not really how I wanted to mod my frame. lucky I seen the ditch in time. It was camoed really well in the snow.:aniwh:

Yep, done that. Bent the aluminium bumper. Very hard to straighten....actually it's still bent...Just bought an XT bull bar to disguise a bit..lol!
