What size are the threads below the spindle insert taper? 😁

also can you measure the heim ID?

It's an interesting setup. Has a 10mm thru bolt. The heim measures 15.87mm/.625 so assuming it's really 5/8.

I just ordered a set of Zollinger Racing Products tie rods for my R. For the money they seem to be a very high quality product.

Aaaannnndddd,

My steering rack is starting to have some slop in it.....

Ordered a sandcast steering rack stabilizer for a 17 RZR XP and plan to modify to fit.

If it doesn’t work well i’ll add a rzr steering rack in place of the honda one.

Fyi honda is back ordered on steering racks indefinitely. (No known ship date)

On 12-2-2020 they will be able to be put on critical backorder “machine down”
Vendor change and new part number.

RB3 says 2 months til they release their version. (Honda race teams running)

Sandcraft indicated they have zero interest in developing a stabilizer for the talon. (Stated lack of market)

Hence i did the poo compatible parts.

Raceco USA is making aftermarket racks for the Talon. They are a 1.5 - 1 ratio, so not for everybody, but they are billet and were made to take the abuse of the Baja 1000.

$1300 gets one.

1.5-1 is that slower turning or faster turning than stock?

Faster, lot of people that race use them.
10-4.

My brain was going back and forth on driver input being 1.5 turns to 1 turn of the shaft or the other way around.

1-1.5 makes sense to me. (Faster)

Only for the talon R and $1395.00
