To anyone running GT thunder swinger links is their a gard to keep it from getting bashed up or has anyone had issues. I noticed that it hangs down quit a bit.

We are running one on my boys quad and it does take a beating, lI have seen other brands with a replaceable piece to absorb the beating. Even though it looks rough I imagine it will out live many other parts on the quad. I would post a pic of how it looks but he is actually off at a OXC race today.

My link has been on my bike since the beginning of 09'. I haven't had any issues with it breaking, cracking, ect. The only problem I do have is that my middle bearing where the lower shock mounts too is ovaled out but that is my fault because I didn't check the bearings as often. They have wore out in 6 months so just check the bearings frequently and you will be good to go. It definantly lowers the center of gravity and makes the ride much nicer IMO.

I got a 1" wide piece of aluminum .25" thick and bolted it to the link. I drilled and tapped 2 .25"-20 holes in the link and countersunk the bolts in the aluminum guard. It came out awesome. I'll try to post pics later.

Thats close to what im going to do but im going to use stainless instead. But that looks really good thanks.

I wanted to use stainless but I had the aluminum laying around. stainless would be much better.
