I called dealer...
they said..they wanna put
it on a rack..to check frame...
1st..before any work to front
end...was started..
If frame. .twisted...or damaged
...they refuse to do any work...
I feel..with internet..& help..
I can do it...myself
They are parts changers and nothing more when it comes to damage. A very slightly tweaked bracket if it's part of the frame "requires " a new frame lol. They aren't like a bodyshop at all, they make more money replacing and no liability is the deal. Certain things can be fixed. One dealer in town brings brand new tipped over bikes into the shop so they don't take liability. Just fix it or have a buddy.
One thing though it's high strength steel so if anything needs welded have someone experienced get involved.

P500S DO BRAKE . This is my friends rh upper control arm/a-frame in two peaces yesterday . Just driving down a rocking road . Luckily he was only going about 5mph when it snapped and started pulling hard right towards a few hundred feet drop . Took it off there , brought it to town
, welded it , and they took the part back up into the hills today to re install it . The P5 is home now .

Sure wish someone made a full chromoly frame with a real roll cage for the 1000. I’d buy one in a heartbeat

Hey Roc, why don't you pull both A-Arms from both sides and set them down to compare? Might save yourself some $$$. Hard to tell what might be jacked from the photos.

Does the wheel spin ok on the jacked side? Maybe the knuckle was damaged? Or where it links to the tie rod? Unfortunately the only way to tell might be pulling both sides and comparing each part.

"Rocks take out Stomper "
Just watched the video.... Sorry man... That really really sucks! Those rocks were totally camouflaged by the shadow of that tree. Didn't see that coming till you were on top of it. Lucky you weren't hurt. How did you get home?

LMFAO!! Love the determination:) That's exactly what I would have done too. In reverse if required, but that b**ch would be taking me back!
