129 bent tunnel

[SUC_doo]

Hit the bumper at high speed on hard pack and here is the result. Looking for opinions on if it's fixable or replace

Its mostly just the tunnel extension. I would get that new and try to bend other parts to fit it. Or lightly pound it back and use the 10ft rule. Looks good from 10ft away. Would depend on insurance and who did it. My Daughter rear ended me week ago. Not much to say about that. She thought I was taking off when I let off the brake and light went out! No damage other than her ski loop. Buddy rear ended me at a stop sign 3 weeks ago. No damage also but he got hit in the head as hard as I could manage. Been lucky nothing serious has happened.

It really all is in just the rear extension, Only thing else bent really is the bumper. I have a buddy who is a really good body man who has the gear to fix it. But i am hearing the extension is only 250 buckish. I don;t think i did enough damage to warrant an insurance claim.

Snapped my mtx clean off with like 400 kms on it , tunnel was 240 bucks and I added proclimb rear bumper for future support haven’t had issue since . Not really a bad job to do honestly just order some #4 center drills off amazon makes the drilling the rivets a joke ! Order bunch of them as if you don’t push straight they snap easily . You get the hang of it pretty fast tho . I ordered all black multi grip rivets and used an pneumatic rivet gun super easy

Gonna have to up my game...I was relying on the 50/50 rule. 50 feet and 50 mph!
