P1000 Super ATV a-arms installation

[sugarray]

Just finished up the bike after installing Super ATV arched & offset a-arms. While it was challenging, not anything anyone can’t do. Helps to have a friend, but with ratchet straps and this forum, it’s no big deal.

I’m pleased with the look and how heavy duty they are.

Big shout out to @Windrock1000 for the phone calls, advice, and guidance! The measurements you shared look to be spot on. Another big thanks to @CumminsPusher for the late night texts with answers. This is why this forum is so great!

Hope to ride soon!

What in the world could anyone be "shouting out" that was family friendly,

after getting phone calls from @Windrock1000 and any time of the day texts from @CumminsPusher????




Maybe you were "shouting out" for the number to a suicide prevention line?

Yeah.. they’re sweet as sugar!!

Good for you @sugarray . Great upgrade, opens the doors to 30s if you go that route. Also way better in deep ruts!

Raymond I’m so impressed with the things you’ve taken on! Some people have backgrounds in such things and others have friends that do things for them or learn from others and take credit but you’re the guy that never did this kind of thing and you go out and do it. You get things done. There are many of us that appreciate the kudos but man you get it done no matter what. Nice job on a great machine. You are a great guy and deserve all you receive! Thank you!

Are you planning on going to 30’s now? What was motive to add them?

No, at least not anytime soon. I’ll get to 28” first I think. I’ll still be able to get in my garage. To go to 30” I’ll have to chop the cage too. Not sure I want that.

I added for more strength and clearance under them. I’ve taken a few good licks to my stocks. I do plan to get to 28”, but would like to stay with stock rims. So, I’m looking at 29” too. The original big horns come in 29” at 9” and 11” widths, I believe. They are good tires. If I make it to the Take Over, I’ll have my 27” Roctanes, I’m pretty sure.

Nope. Just enough so the grass wasn’t sticking up through. Cold again. Really would like to ride to see how she feels now, but not fun by yourself.

We got about 4" here hard to really tell the wind blew it all over the place HaHa When it is this cold out mine stays in the shop

I am about to put some on this weekend. My machine has gr8 roughly 500 miles on it. Do i need to change ball joints or use the same ones. Seems like I have heard that most change them out. Wasn't sure if it was due to doing it to an aged machine ordered to do either way.

 

[CumminsPusher]

Way easier to buy new ones unless you have access to a press. It’s doable without but a pita

 

[Flgator_80]

Got ya

 

[sugarray]

I got new ones that way my stocks would be ready to bolt back on if I have problems.

I did the same

Also our local Honda dealer surprisingly had them in stock... and they carry very little in stock

Me too easier and have spares if you need them
