looks like I need a new body pannel?

I've told my wife, and told her, if we roll over keep your hands and feet in, over and over. Well guess who rolls his new Rhino and lets go of the steering wheel, and grabs the roll bar. I knew better, but just wasn't thinking, wasn't drunk, not a very steep hill, wasn't driving too fast (well maybe a little), anyway nearly cut off the last 1/4" of my little finger off. Guess I should have had two hands on the steering wheel, & not trying to open a drink while driving (Stupid). Now I need a left rear fender replaced (its not too bad, but it was new so I would like to keep it looking that way), where is the best place to get one, & how much should I expect to pay?

I would post the pictures of my finger, but I don't want them showing up on some web site that trying to get some money out of Yamaha. It was my careless mistake, not Yamaha's. Though I do need to get some new rims with a wider offset.

2008 Yamaha Rhino Silver Sport Edition

Sorry to hear that Shep. Keep an eye on ebay for body panels. I see them on there frequently. And the wider offset wheels make a stability difference you wouldn't believe.

Shep, i hate to hear that... but, i guess it happens. and Yankee is right, the wider offset is going to help a great deal!!


by the way... if i hadn't told ya already... nice choice of rhino!!

Yeah Shep sorry about that man, but guess it coulda been worse. Like Yankee said if you keep an eye on E-bay, you'll find a panel.

sorry to hear that as well and ebay it up is usually the best place to find a deal...take and post some pics of the rhino damage at least then

Look on ebay as stated before and you might also check these sites out:

Hate To Hear It Shep Glad It Not Worse.

damn brother - that doesnt sound fun - glad you are 'ok' considering....


Im so superstitious with these things - that kind of accident - with a reason to buy new plastics - I would change the color...buy a whole new set the color you've always wanted....


then - if you dont already have them - 4 POINT HARNESSES...they wouldnt have prevented you from sticking your hand in the dismemberment zone - but they sure do feel more secure, my wife loves them more than i do - a) for her comfort b) knowing that I have a lil more to hold me in - just in case cause you never know oh, and put on a helmet!

done with soap box. just be careful fellas, these aint toys as much as we want them to be!

you copied the wrong link

Sorry working on it.

Thanks Wheelin

OK, now try it.

works now

I said I wouldn't do this, but here is a couple of the pictures, of my finger. Its not too bad, but if you have a week stomach don't scroll down. Let me know, if I need to take these off, and I will.

Remember, KEEP YOUR HANDS & FEET IN AT ALL TIMES!

ddddaaaammmmnnnn son..thats nasty

glad your ok

damn that sucks, glad it not any worse man

ouch!

felt bad for the rhino till i SCROLLED DOWN..............................dang gum that looked just a little bit painful


note to self: DON'T EVER DO THAT AND GET A THICK PAIR OF GLOVES....

again ouch....

but to the serious stuff now...

are you seriously thinking of replacing that rear quarter???

dude, it is a cosmetic scratch from dumping it over... let me count those on mine and the other scratches...good lawd!

leave it alone its now a battle scar...if you actually cracked the panel or were missing a set of plastic, that warrants a purchase...just imo...

and yes, a good fender flare from HW (not the yami overfenders) will cover most of it...

yeah i'm with him thats character...

gives it character and its obivous u ride it and have a story to tell

Looks Kool
Ride it like you stole it.....Or did you ? :afro:

yeah, i'm with everyone else... it adds character. if nothing else... sand it and paint it. cost would be minimal.

and by the way... that finger was pretty nasty. glad you didn't get hurt worse...

Rhino good finger not so good. I will send you a pic of the side of mine it will make you feel better. :afro:
