Anyone have a fron ball joint pop out on the SP model?

Was riding yesterday for a little over an hour on some rough trails. Towards the end of the ride…almost to the mouth of the trail..I was going about 20 MPH or so, steered slightly to avoid a root and then my machine violently veered to the left causing me to smash the wheel right onto a large tree….Not sure if there was an underlying problem with the front ball joint or A arm assembly and something failed causing this…but it appears that one of the ball joints has popped out of the socket. Anyone have any experience with this?

Looking to install mountain bar so my kid can hold on when riding

Hey guys,
Has anyone used a snowmobile mountain bar (half moon) and mounted to the handle bars (facing the rider) so that a kid riding in front of an adult can hold on to something? I took my 7 year old daughter out for a ride the other day and she kept trying to grab the handlebars or my arms…which in my opinion isn’t a good thing while you are trying to steer. If I could mount something up like this then she would be able to hold onto something….I’m not going fast anyway..but wanted to make her feel comfortable. Any thoughts?

Thanx again.
