Thanks Brian...if i still had access to the tools I would make all of my own stuff, Ive done a lot of it, but as it is now I guess I got to buy off the Shelf type stuff!

But Thanks for the heads up......Hey you been working on the boss so you can come down and ride some here in Tennessee?

Hey Glide,

Yep the Boss and I have discussed about expanding our riding this year. Hopefully I'll have the time to make it.

Your welcome. I know what your talking about regarding the trail riding. Every year a group of us head down to Hatfield McCoy for some riding. The trails down there are pretty awsome and go on forever. Unfortunately we really don't have anything like that here in Virginia. We've encountered some good trails and stout rocks/terrain at Hatfield and the stick guards worked great. Can't wait to head back down there later this year. I hadn't planned on the lift but decide that I wanted one at the last minute. Hope you enjoy and good luck.

yea their are a LOT of Rocking Riding around here everything from Mild to Wild, with Royal Blue, brimstone, Coal creak & Winrock with in 20-30 miles...their is LOT's of places to ride!

Dag what a view. Man we need to get down your way and gouge it out some. If we can make it happen I'll give you a heads up so you can prepare or should I say get ready.

Thanks for the vid, bet it looks great in the summer.

Glide,
We ride all types of terrain and I'll say the guards are great. What I would do though, is before you mount them place the guard up against the a-arm, take a piece of soap stone and outline the a-arm/the center brace onto the guard. Drill a 3/4 to 1" hole on the inside of where you mark the brace. That will help with getting all the junk to wash out. And the small rocks will vibrate out while riding. They are going to be one of the harder areas to keep clean and if you don't they will make your a-rams more prone to rust. But they are for sure a very good investment!

Good idea hogan....

the CV guards are one of the hardest places to clean on a quad. One would think that they would already come with weep holes to allow the mud and gunk to leach out will riding or cleaning. I know we get into some pretty deep clay mud here in Southern Ohio and it's **** to clean off.

Man...its good to see a LOT of us think alike I been talking to Lisa (my GF) for Two days....going think after I get them A-arm covers should I Drill a bunch of small holes or a few Mid size because just by looking at them you can tell Mud would stick in their!

to be honest I "REALLY" don't need them....but I want them!
