I have them on my X model stock axles are fine i did not use the steering stops and have no breakage or binding. Make sure to get the bushing kit as the stock ones to remove are a pain.

The benefit is moving the arms forward by 1.5in to allow the clearance for bigger tires upto 34's on the X model with no rubbing, also you gain ground clearance as they are arched arms and for the last benefit it provides a little more wheelbase for a little better stability.

Just received SATV front a arms for Talon 1000 R. I had wanted to be able to adjust caster and camber plus wanted the additional clearance when first took them out of the box thought OMG these look great real beefy lots of steel, but after laying them next to existing A arm I realized that they made no provision to attach the brake lines. thought I must be missing something so carefully reviewed install video brake lines are not mentioned. I then viewed the heavy duty tie rod install and saw that their solution was to Zip tie, brake line to A arm this not only looks extremely tacky, but poses some extremely serious safety issues. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY !!!!! they should be embarrassed to put out such a product.

Theres no place to mount the brake line attachment clamps, even their website shows the line being held on with zip ties. I agree it's a crap way of doing things, I don't like SuperAtv stuff in general to be honest.
My measurements show When you attach the brake line to A arm drilled holes and extend the travel and turn the wheel it will stretch the line at both connection points in addition to running under the upper arm and between the tie rod.
A simple solution would have been to weld a clip similar to stock at front intersection of braces and front tube an inexpensive fix that would insure protection and enough travel.

if there was a location that would allow a clean install, I would proceed as advised.

Other than no mounting bracket the A arms appear to be well built.

Maybe the arms move the line in such a way that permanent attaching is impossible with the stock line.
Zip tying may allow some movement incase the line gets tight when turning.
We had a similar issue with the first couple new generation trikes we've built. The front brake lines are too tight to fasten to the fork so we just left them loose. They arent loose enough to get caught in any pinch points.

What size tires are you running? I put the steering stops in and it look a fair amount of turning out, I have 32” tires and don’t want to rub but want as much turning radius as I can keep!
You should be fine with the 32"s not rubbing. We require the steering stops to protect your axles. Anytime you push them forward, it puts you more at risk for oversteering and possibly putting your axles in a bind or pinching a boot. Guys take them out and run without them all the time, but you have to be conscience of your axles at full knock and full drop or compression.
