Honda ATV South Carolina Plant Tour Article - LONG
I haven't seen this article yet, it is a very interesting read. I knew the ATVs were assembled in SC, but I never knew they made almost all of the parts there too. Even the frames, engines, body work and wheels!!
Here is the direct link: <a href="http://www.atvillustrated.com/?q=node/729" target="_blank">http://www.atvillustrated.com/?q=node/729</a>
I found it hard to read with the dark background so I am pasting it below.

i think that is all amazing and awesome but the coolest thing was seeing how they make the aluminum wheels
from a tube of aluminum it rolls a bed and makes a hump then the 2 halves are then pressed together and then fused to make it 1 piece or a wheel
that is awesome sounding

BTW, I talked with the person in charge of Tours at the plant today and they are going to set up a private tour for me, my wife, my brother and sister-in-law!
He said they had been doing a public tour every Wed, but that was stopped recently because they are now building all the "newer models".
The plant is only about 3.5 hours from me, I can't wait!
I agree, spin welding is very cool!! Everytime you pick up an insulated plastic cup or any 2 peice plastic part they are either spin welded or sonic welded. But, you haven't seen anything until you see Explosion Welding, now thats really cool!i think that is all amazing and awesome but the coolest thing was seeing how they make the aluminum wheels
