icy trails got the best of me

been a while since iv been on the form but id like to share what happened to me so maybe it dosnt happen to u,,and id like to rant about the can am fender tabs that are a bad engineering idea imo..
so i was going around a long corner on an unfamiliar trail about 25 30 kmhr and the main dirt road snuck up on my as i came around the corner and it was ice on the trail and road and the snow bank on other side was a foot high and rock hard
so of courese i hammered on the brakes,went sideways,front left tire hit bank and sent tire up into my lights,,broke my high beam right out,fuked up my low beam,broke my front facia or grill i call it,and to boot the tab that the facia connects to on the front fender underneath broke off,making the fender pretty much uslless,,these tabs are also on the rear but a bit are different in style,,one also broke on my rear which holds the tail light up tight to fender,,the only way to fix without new fenders id say is drill holes and put bolts and nuts through,,that would look shitty so cant do that,,anyway be carefull out there watch those fender tabs that your rear lights and front grill snap too,,a little accident just run me $1000,,and to boot it was on a run with my buddys for my b day..

650 xmr cvtech & dalton Y/B secondary??

Has any 650 guys on here tried this set up..I’m looking at buying a cvtech but wondering if I can get away without pairing a stm secondary to it and run stock secondary or even maybe put the dalton Y/B secondary in to help with back shift and help the secondary keep up with the cvtech primary..any thoughts or input appreciated..

Switch MUDZILLAS for OL2S?

So I just acquired some barely used 28 S/W outlaw 2s on sti beadocks for really cheap
So my dilemma is switch out stock 28 mudzillas on my 650 xmr for these or not
I trail alot and mud along the way..the mudzillas are good for this Imo.
So I have the dbo 650 installed.id have to add rivets and secondary y/b spring and retune my mpt..I have all the clutch parts and auto tune and know how to do so but just wondering if the added weight and decreased ride is worth it..not to mention the havoc those tires might have on drive train..any thoughts or opinions appreciated
