Hey guys been a long time I posted but I need your help.
Just two months ago I sold my 2016 sportsman 450 to purchase a new 2019 Sportsman 570. Actually bought two brand new ones because my wife wanted her own.
Well 3 weeks ago her and I went trail riding and I went up a steep bank (about 20 foot bank from top to bottom) that was covered in snow the the quad starting spinning in all wheel drive on some snow covered rocks on the crest of the bank. Well it quickly spun sideways and flip end over end once and landed upside down hard. I was so upset! Brand new with only 110 miles on it! Let me point out we are a middle age couple that do very easy trail riding. We don't rip and tear on these machines but accidents happens and thats what insurance is for.
Had the insurance adjuster come out and it was 2k in damage. So the damage was all cosmetic I thought at first. Front cab assembly, steering bar, new light pod plastic and bracket and other plastic pieces.... So they wrote me a check and I fixed it myself easily.
Sorry for being drawn out. But after I got it back together right away noticed the steering assembly WAY pushed back to where I can't get the gas cap off. The steering post itself is straight but the the column that's welded to the frame was bent way back. I tried to straighten it buts its all jacked up. Looked on the parts website and I don't see Polaris just selling that piece, only showing it welded to the front frame.
Does Polaris just sell the steering column? Because I can grind off the bend one off and re-weld a new one in easily.
Thanks guys and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Some of the fake ideas are annoyingly cool. Others, just annoying.
