Reminds me of that company Spyder engineering that made IRS systems for most of todays sport quads. I wonder if this guy has anything to do with spyder in the past?

Looks like exactly the same setup to me.

ahhhh thats what i wanted to hear from someone. now were on to something. im pretty sure spyder patented this IRS system at least 3 years ago. so how does this guy claim to have a patent?

I rember seeing that quad in a.c. about two years ago at the motorsports show...it was kinda out of place because the show is manly for race cars but he had a video of it on a mx track and he was beatin on it pritty good.

Just because someone else has a system that is SIMILAIR to Spyders, doesnt mean that they have violated a patent or did anything unlawful.

After all...FMF,HMF, White Bros. Yoshimura, Duncan, CT, Sparks etc. all have exhaust systems. They all have patents and all of thier systems are similair. :ermm:

I saw one of these in person.

A lil while back, I was at the Freemansburg AMA hillclimbs. I forget what they were called, but they had a stand setup dedicated to their IRS kit and selling them/taking orders. They had a YFZ and LTR on display with these kits.

They were getting quite a bit of attention, and in person, these kits looked kick arse.

There was a bunch of people ordering the kits!

Btw i think you guys might be getting things mixed up a bit. This setup is called the Sonic Spider IRS Kit.

Im not sure but i think the "Spyder" you guys are thinking about is actualy Sonic...

that looks like it would be killer for XC riding IMO

Yeah I had never seen it before until I came across it on ebay, thought Id post it up. Didn't know its been around for a bit now. Shock mounts do look a little iffy though.

Cool stuff, what keeps it from swinging like a swingarm though?? IS there a link that goes to where the top shock mount is or what??
