i had previously crashed my quad and bent the front tube on the frame.. how do i go about replacing it? is there some way to transfer the vin that's on my frame or get it switched? i'm pretty sure kawi wont warranty it because my left a-arm looks like someone hit it with a axe and the shock is touching the back of the a-arm..

i was doing a 4th gear wheelie before i saw it and tried to drop it back down and turn but i was a second too late.. it was in my neighborhood.. storm drain without a grate over it.. pretty much ran into a concrete hole.. the quad actually landed on top of me and herniated 2 discs in my back..
