Flipped my 08 420FM the other day front end over back end. Laid there in a daze for a minute until the smell of leaking gas kindly brought me back to the world around me. Got a good view of the undercarriage from a new perspective and spent a minute to appreciate that the rocky ground was now in the space where I used to sit.

Flipped it over and rode it back out side saddle since my handlebars were down into my lap making almost a sad face shape. Got home and twisted them back into place but they're also bent and one is higher and further forward than the other.

For 26 bucks I get new ones which is good because I'd never get them right. Front rack is bent in, plan on beating it with a hammer. Anything besides the obvious that I need to check on?

Hell you gotta laugh. I couldn't really get mad at the fourwheeler. Thanks for the reply I wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was going to miss. Once I get to where I can turn my head comfortably I'll be back to raising hell.
