Suspension, Bumpers, tie-rods

Postby KTM265 » Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:43 pm

OK, I have been on the phone for the past week with a couple of companies and they are finally developing aftermarket shocks and struts for the Utility quads...about time. I guess Diamond G is looking in to having their own brand of shocks and struts...Found another that can do a rebuild on most stock shocks to give them better performance...all depends on what your needs and how much $$$.

Interesting.....

I totally forgot about the tie rods...I could NOT take a picture or anything...as I had lost my camera last week.

I will try to do it this weekend when I get home. . . if I get home. . . our Project manager is trying to require us to work a 5 day work week which i am fighting pretty hard. . . being away form home for 4 days is enough, not having to be away for 5 days at a time is not my idea of fun.

I am trying to think what we can do to lock the camera to you so that you do not loose this one too. . . maybe tape it to your hand. . .
