Infamous039 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thats what I was thinking also, but they do look kinda cool. I dont know how reliable they would be if you do jumps or anything like that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed-racer Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Its not about reliability........its about the screwed up geometry. Stay away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed-racer Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) Q: Does a widening kit create excessive bump steer? A: Bump steer is when the front tires "toe-out" when landing a big jump, which can cause the ATV to dart left or right unexpectedly. All ATV's have bump steer from the factory, because the pivots of the tie rods aren't exactly lined up with the flex points of the dual a-arm system. This means that as the suspension goes through its range of up and down motion, the tie rods go through a slightly different range of motion which affects the toe-in / toe-out of the tires at each point through the range. Because our widening kits move the a-arms outward without actually moving the tie rod pivot points, they do increase the amount of bump steer in the system. The real question is "how much is significant, and will I notice it?". We have sold literally thousands of kits across the world. We can count the number of customers that have said they noticed a change in bumpsteer on one hand (less than five). This is even less that we would expect, because if you know what you are looking for, its possible to feel it. We think that the added amount of bump steer is an acceptable compromise compared to spending much more on expensive systems that avoid added bump steer. We recommend that you be the judge, because the chances that someone else's opinion is based on facts or experience, is unlikely... ^^^^What a joke!!!! Bump steer.....who cares?

bbcmudtruck Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 My buddy is a welder for trade and has made a couple of those kits for his 450s. He only races them at the horseshoe drags though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarineNYC Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I looked at those when I first got my shee. Was going to post about it on here but used my better judgement. ( For the 1st time in my life). What a pos setup. I pray no one on here owns that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
