Re: crash....

ahh shitty.. but yeah! this is when you'll get good brake control.. you got some gearing so that's cheating.. but just gotta learn to listen to the motor...u'll learn how to compensate with some gas n some brake to prevent it... keep the front end off

Re: crash....

gotta turn your idle up and learn to slip that clutch to keep it going.

keep the plastics off til you're done crashing (post circles)

Where is it breaking?? I've seen a few broken ones from 04-05's, I see breaks right after the two bolt holes where you attach it to your frame. Why don't you bring it to a good alum. tig welder and fill in and renforce some of those weak points. Maybe it'll cost you 50 bucks but you wont have to put a 10-15lb steel stay on, and or continue to buy new ones.
