Broke my Chit ! damn

[buzzkill]

Ok so I hit a pile of roof tiles in my backyard ( dumbazz ) and the front of my frame broke off ! snap ! steering gone etc. Am I missing a piece on the top of the steering assembly ? the top piece is also bent , but that can be fixed easily . any advice beside don't hit stuff ?

Yeah fairly common occurrence lol. Do a Scorpio stiffner, new chassis and a tr top plate and it will be 10x stronger ?

Build the new chassis out of said tiles, they sound pretty tough

Yep the Front end of my Bagger is built like a tank now . Them there parts are some good chit. Granted I really don't want to test it like the last time.

Only advise I can give, is hit stuff at a slower speed ?

YA YA YA ! lol , it lasted for a while then fell apart , Im gonna JB WELD it together ! that poop is STRONG I fixed a old Honda CR125 water pump case with JB and it never failed. J/K ! this thing is Fekked

So oddly enough, a fix for Caterpillar endings was to use an epoxy in the lower area that sealed the liner to the block... so yeah I can believe jb weld fixed a water pump

Had a friend fix a Rocker journal in a engine in his camper with JB weld . Think it was still holding up fine when he sold it a few years later. He use to race in WERA (Motorcycles) So he used the camper every weekend. Towed a trailer with the bikes behind it to the races.
