bent steering stem!!!!

[hero]

i just found a pretty big problem with my warrior that i never knew was there!!! somehow... the pseron i got my warrior from managed to bend the hell out of the steering stem iv always noticed a problem with the steering not being dead on at times.. mostly when turning right :-/ an now i know why... how the hell do u bend the steering stem without breaking the headlights an plastics an everythign?? ??? it looks like they took the stem off an smacked it with a baseball bat then put it back :-/

On the frame you should use PJ1, you can order it from rocky mountain atv, or dennis kirk, but some dealers stock it too. Pj1 is one of the best paints for frames and swingarms and other things. Another paint that i have heard good things about is hammerite, it leaves a hammered finish but is supposed to be tough and long lasting. I used rustoleaum mettalic on all of my parts like me swingarm and a-arms, its a good paint if you use plenty of crystal clear on top, other than that it looks really good.

Mine is bent at the top, so it screws up the handle bars. It was rolled wayy back and Ithought it was the bars, until i got new ones and I had the sameproblem. lol. Its not hard I guess. Mike
