Most of your damaged parts you will be able to get on Ebay much cheaper than buying from the dealership if you purchase them yourself.
I don't know if you are familiar with Ebay, but if you do a search for Ebay Motors and then go under Parts and Accessaries choose "ATV" and then do a search for "Grizzly". This way you will only get grizzly parts. There is one company that takes entire machines and sells all the parts seperately. You can tell which one it is because all the parts are displayed on a grid type sheet.
How did you roll your Griz. It must have been pretty bad to do so much damage. Glad you didn't get hurt (hopefully)

I would start by taking off all of the damaged pieces(what kind of machine is it?) and see if all the damge is to bolt on items? Is your platic crakced? If not is the frame bent in some areas? If the frame is and suspension is still good than that is the best news. after you have a list of damaged parts then you can start looking for after market parts to replace them and get prices. If the replacement parts cost the same or less than your deductible than buy the parts and put them on yourself. If not , maybe you can start with the important ones like handle bars(lots of after market peices). Then save money and try to rebend the racks and front bumper. Maybe a welding shopt can het the racks and bumper to rebend cheaper than a new piece? There are a lot of options. Post some pictures if you can to show us. We might be ableto give you more ideas.
Good luck and let us know what happens.

Kind of depends on where you bought your insurance and what kind of agent you have. If you have the ATV insured where you buy the rest of your insurance and have a good relationship with your agent then go talk to him/her. Be sure the agent does not enter the info into your file unless you file a claim as even inquaries are considered a "flag" when they figure rates.
Chances are the price of the parts will be well in excess of the deductable so you will have to decide if the claim will save you money or cause you more insurance problems than it is worth.
Things like this are why I purchase our insurance thru a private agent and stay with the same agent over the years. Makes a good source for answers to questions like this.

anyone at all can give me some suggestions would be great.....
i rolled my new atv and damaged the racks fenders, handlebar, frt. gaurd (piping) and seat
since i just bought it....i'm really like to take to the dealer amd have any damaged thing fixed
I have full coverage ins....this is my 1st accident and i am not sure what the ins. company will
do.
probrably raise my rates......worst case scenario would be if they cancelled the policy
I desperately need some advice....if it was much older i fix the major things and not worry about
some cosmetic stuff....but since its only a few weeks old and a 7700.00 ATV, I have no idea what
to do
Please help with any suggestions at all
Thx, Janks2005

I was just trail riding new paths, puttzing around following with some friends on the side of a hill we all were on. My atv was leaning so I had my weight shifted and we come around a sharp bend on the path, which was narrow enough and had know idea what I was coming up on (this big root sticking out) on the upper side. The rest of the ATV,s were smaller and more maneuverable, plus much lower to the ground. I was going slow, but what the other riders was able to squeeze by, my bigger atv caught the root with the upper front tire (I thought it didn't look that bad). I was wrong, unfortunately and it pushed up to the PNR (point of no return) and when I realized what was happening I already was thinking it's going to roll on me so I tried my hardest to duck my head and pushed off with my shouder.
four of the parts are costing 95% of it....carry front bar (kinked), frt & rear carrier (twisted) and the front plastic fender (kinked)
the carry frt bar is kinked down (1 pipe) about 1 1/2", but where it is rolled from manufacturing (can be fixed) but I want it to look like new
front fender has got a kink on the one side and scratched (gouged) again i want it to look new
racks can and will be fixed (but I know someone looking for racks) so I believe he's going to buy them
handlebars can't be fixed (atleast by me) somebody with a metal shop and has a roller probably could fix, but for 30.00 for a new one its not worth the effort
Thanks for all advice and I wish I would have caught ur thread earlier.....before I placed my order BR>
My family is old friends with the owner so I got a pretty good deal....plus factor in the discounts and no s/h
