PhilMoore Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I bought a set of Burgard a-arms (from K&K) when I first got my Banshee, and they have been working ok. I had to ream out my stock spindles to get the ball joint to fit. It wasn't long before I bent one of the ball joints, which is a 9/16 (roughly) shaft. I have also seen a couple of these wimpy things break. So, I thought it would be a good idea to get some fatter Ricky Stator Ball joints, and some new un-reamed spindles to fit. Well guess what? Nobody in my town has a 15mm x 1.5 tap! I can't even find one on the internet. I just emailed a specialty tap company. This sure has turned out to be a project. I haven't dismembered anything yet, so I can still ride the quad until I get all the stuff I need, but man what a hassle. The new ball joints were about $80 plus shipping. I am afraid this tap is going to be expensive too. Maybe I will be able to rent it out? :smile: I just can't bring myself to spend another $500 and up on new arms when these just need a minor modification to improve safety.
