You might wanna check the length of your Brake lines. The stock lines may be too short.

Shock ATV i3500 Phantom Standard Travel A-Arms Kit. I Love this company... I have bought stuff from them before, and i bought the arms on over stock for 400 dollars. That comes with Upper and Lower A-Arms, Ball-Joints, Ball-Joint Press Tool, Sypder Lines, Tie-Rods, etc... Everything you need. Couldn't pass up that deal.... They also do shock revalves and triple rate kits from right around 650... so you guys should be checking them out.

Yeah man!! I just back from an old lead mine tailings place... Its basically a HUGE lake they filled up with sand. My Arms are beat to death and that has con firmed that i am getting my 450 shocks revalved and resprung or a dual or triple rate kit and a steering stabilizer... pretty sure i would get a CNC, i have heard good things about his work. Anyhow, I-Shock does great work on shocks, they even gurantee their revalves, if you don't like it then send it back and they will do it until they get it right.

No, but I've been there before.I like that place but it's kind of a long drive for me. I like going when I have a 3 day weekend.
Alot of the guys I race with live by there and ride it all the time.

Got them installed, but they sent a messed up brake line kit. The lines that run from the block to the calipers are different lengths... One of them is not even close to fitting. The rest are perfect. All three lines i was given are all different sizes.
