Well, I think most Houser's have the grease zerk on the side. Lonestar's are in the middle I believe. So you could probably count those out. I don't remember seeing any big name companies with the zerk in that location.

I'd guess it's one that somebody made and sold it on ebay...there are alot of people doing that since they are fairly easy to make if you have a CNC machine.

i'll say! my lonestar carrier is a pain to grease since it needs to be taken out each time. they look identical except mine has an LSR logo in the middle. very clever design on that one though.

I would have to say its a no brander from ebay. Prolly just as good as any other. Hope your being sarcastic about the zerk being in an awesome spot though. If your chain ever comes off on the inside, you can say bye bye to the zerk.

and then get the broken one out and replace it with a new one for $.50. :rolleyes: i'd be willing to take my chances because the convenience outweighs the 50 cents by far.

i also found this out today look at what i circled theirs two other spots you can move the zerk to.man this carrier was a good buy id say and yes it looks like a name brand one at that with the convenience of 3 spots for grease.

Good point. The only thing with me is I take my fourwheeler apart on a regular basis to lube everything and inspect, so it's no big deal to grease it up when I have it all apart.

I've never broken a chain, but I refuse to run a swingarm skid, and I've knocked my chain off on the inside before.

I don't hang up in ruts, like at all. However, I am on my 2nd brake rotor. I usually just try to be careful when in rocks and what not.

fastredrider44 not for nothing but you were saying (Hope your being sarcastic about the zerk being in an awesome spot though. If your chain ever comes off on the inside, you can say bye bye to the zerk.) and your telling me you refuse to use a skid plate for the swingarm and your on your 2nd brake rotor. basicaly im saying you were more concernd about the zerk than protecting your swingarm.......wow....lol...your carzy hahahahah.....?
