CP’s Talon Rebuild

[CID]

I’d be curious to know if the overall width (link mount to link mount) is wider than the stock one. We have bent the 4th link on 2 different R’s of ours and installed the SATV 4th link and it is not engineered right. The sway bar hits the 4th link while flexing and it has already broke our sway bar mount on one of them due to it flexing the sway bar when it hits it.

Have a good weekend and don't tear it up too bad 🤣

Ain’t bad I think. Didn’t rip anything off. Awesome night ride. I rode shotgun with the wife and my daughter drove with her friend. We swapped Talons several times and just got lost. Really love the Hondas. Sammy likes the 4-door more but mainly because of the power, she can be hard to stay up with in the open. Lots of fun last night

This ain’t fukn around. My son behind the wheel again behind my friend on a pioneer 😍

Few pics from the weekend. Didn’t go without trouble but well worth it.

On it! I'll get it into the test bay.

@Hometeam have you already called in with pics? If not, PM me some pics and which part it was. Upper arms I'm assuming?

I will send the pics asap. I had been to busy to contact you about at this. I actually have 2 sets installed on our 2 of our Talon Rs that both rub. One has split the brace and one has not yet. I have adjusted them every way possible with nothing stopping it from rubbing. I have a 3rd set sitting in the box to install on our 3rd R. I did not install the 3rd set yet due to this issue. Thanks

Sorry took so long @Hometeam heres the measurements. Short is inside longer is outside. Made sure camera angle was spot on

 

[CumminsPusher]

Well this looks like about 10hrs worth of cleanup.

No worries. Thank you. Very much appreciate!!

Yeah the upper rear 4th link. I don't run a rear swaybar so I never ran into this with my SATV set on my R.

I run this even without the swaybar since the flex in the rear can fatigue those uprights and cause them to break clean in half just in front of the gusseting right here:

Adds more lateral support higher up between the two sides since there isn't any from the factory other than the rear diff mount brace (I guess technically the swaybar would be the upper bracing...) :

Geez...I guess we're going to have to make one of those frame braces too. Looks like that's always going to be a problem...even without the sway bar.

@Hometeam I couldn't make it hit on the lift with the shock off. We had pretty big billet hex sway bar links on there too. Way bigger than stock. They are bolted to the outside of the sway bar, correct? PM me so I don't wreck CP's thread. Lol!

Guess that frame base is going on my list!

Sorry for the derailment @CumminsPusher .

No derailment taken. But if I may throw a suggestion as well, I absolutely love the satv skid but I’d suggest a drain hole here, I think maybe it doesn’t allow water/mud out? Probably more pronounced on my machine cause I don’t detail after every ride. Maybe it’s coming from somewhere else idk.but it is super hard to clean out

 

[CumminsPusher]

Well she’s all clean again. 5hrs on this one and 3 on the 4-door. Damn

It almost looks like the day you got it! 😂

Damn, that's a lot of cleaning time CP. I run the power washer for about an hour and call it done.

CP washes his machines once a year whether they need it or not 🤣

Probably took an hour just in the bed after cooler came out and under driver seat to get the pine needle packed dried mud out. It’s definitely worse to clean with all the broken plastics too. I felt bad, really like this machine it won’t get that bad again.
