Plumbers talon build.

[Plumber32]

Going to be a slightly different group on this build then your last HFA build lol. Glad to see ya stay red, can’t wait to see what you do and see it in person soon.
ok carry on!

Being at mulberry made up my mind.kawi didn't release a 4 seat. Rmax was super nice but on the level my pioneer is on, so not enough differences to upgrade. So I bought a sport rig. The best for what I want. Its very sporty, yet can be tame for the family oh yeah, no belt And paddle shifters!

Double knee replacement!! You lost your chance!! Shoulda told them to take a few inches off 😂😂

So his knees would be 9" closer to his feet or his hips?

I debated nerf bars, but went skids only. The integrated side skids do a good job of protecting the machine.

Tusk looks good. Probably gotta drill my own drain holes, but half the $

You’ve got it all backwards, I choose a poor tire so I can showcase my driving skills!

That pattern looks similar to my Achilles LT/MT tires. But mine were 99$ each

Ordered the frame stiffner, from utv direct. Guess it reinforces the frame. Probably not needed for me, but rather put it on now instead of after its all banged up. Only $150.00 so what the heck.

Terrabites? I run them on everything. Make sure it's a tire you like the looks of because they will be on your machine for a Very long time...They don't like to wear out...LOL

I'll run them in Wisconsin, but in Tennessee I need the extra g.c. and sidewall cushion. I think I'll pinch them in the first mile with my luck.

Got the snorkel and vent lines all done up.

 

[KvandSv]

Well time to start a new build thread!
Just purchased a new talon x4. Id appreciate any pointers on the must haves or must do's. Ive got the warrior snorkel coming. Thinking about just the half windshield for now. I like it on the Pioneer that way.

Spending money like a drunken sailor. 6000lb winch, and a bunch of other goodies from the club store. Then ordered l&w lower rear arms. And factory utv skid, with the x brace for under the engine.

Still need tires and beadlocks
Front and rear windshield,
And tree/rock guards for the side.
And probably front super atv arms.

 

[Plumber32]

Purchased both windows from super atv. Typical front flip up, but for the rear window I'm going to try their poly hard window, the good on that is it comes tinted, and its gotta be easier to clean than the darn soft windows and fabric.

Must have got that stimulus check!! 😁

I tried a set of the SuperATV arms and didnt care for them. Steering seemed harder (i think talon power is pretty weak to start with) and had to adjust one side way out compared to other to get in spec, may have just been my set. I've heard moving bushings is a pain or you have to pay extra for super atv bushings. I also found that the L&W had a lot more clearance to them. I run 32s and it will rub some when turning hard and compressed but not major. Just my .02 .

You can get the garage product bushings for them, way better and lifetime warranty.
