I have a 1988 phazer. Me and my buddy were riding along when we came upon a creek. It was about 12 feet across. We were doing about 40. So i grabbed a handful of throttle and shot it across. We landed on the other side, flew off ,got back up and the sled was coasting away. When it finally stopped i saw that my bars were bent and my headlight was pointing skyward. Plus my running boards were bent down. What do you guys think about anything else being bent or broke?

I forgot to say we were doubled up on the same sled and together we weigh about 300 pounds.

wow... track geometry's probably screwed up, usually means you're buying a new tunnel... steering probably took a hit... torn it down to look for cracks in the bulkhead/busted welds?
