 For
most dune loving rider the need to go fast is
imperative. It is always fun to have bragging
rights among your friends on who has the fastest
quad. Most people, including ourselves, have
concentrated mostly on our motors and overlooked
chassis setup and weight savings. To be the
fastest, you simply have to put more power to
the ground. But, the more power you put
to the ground the better tires you need to get
traction. Therefore, you buy new tires to place
that horsepower to the ground. However,
the more traction you get the more your ATV
will want to loft the front-end. All-in-all
causing you to back off on the throttle to bring
the wheeling, fire breathing ATV back down to
earth. So you ask what is needed to keep
my front-end from flying over my head each time
I hammer the throttle, a longer swing-arm, that's
the ticket.
 This
is where ATV Sports Plus and their new aluminum
swing-arms come in. ATV Sport Plus will custom
build you a swing-arm to meet your traction
needs. This no-link swing-arm is completely
CNC machined and TIG welded out of 6061 T-6
aluminum. These swing-arms are not only trick
looking but extremely light. The craftsmanship
on this swing-arm is exceptional. Designed to
take the '86-'89 TRX250R bearing carrier, they
also feature an adjustable shock mount to fine
tune your various needs for dunning and drag
racing by lowering or raising you ride height.
The fit and finish is outstanding and new front
bearings and dust caps are included in the kit.
In the works are a new auto chain tensioner
and slider.
We have spent a month now out on the drag tracks
with some of them being fairly rough and we
have not experience any problems with the swing-arm.
The only drawback with these swing-arms for
the normal duner or drag racer is that you must
run the Marvin Shaw style shock.
For anyone that is serious about putting the
power to the ground and at the same time, shave
some weight in the process, this is the setup
to have. Available in a Milled or Polish finish
which will turn many heads in the pits with
its beautiful crafted piece of metal. Putting
the swing-arm to the test will get not one,
but two long looks as you put all that power
to the ground with a huge roost behind you.
